A lot of anti-aging clinics are linked with doping scandals. It’s naturally because they supply athletes and bodybuilders with anabolic steroids and other related preparations. When proper authorities search anti-aging clinics and seize documents, they see that certain celebrated sport figures are clients of the clinics.
Lately several anti-aging clinics located in Miami were investigated. Federal agents found that the clinics sold prescription drugs illegally. The clinics sold preparations for enhancement of muscle mass, weight loss, increase of strength, etc.
According to the newspaper the Miami New Times, the anti-aging clinic Biogenesis was found guilty of illicit sale of performance-enhancing drugs. Furthermore, such famous baseball players, as Alex Rodriquez and Melky Cabrera bought doping products at Biogenesis of America. So, the anti-aging clinic turned out to be related to one of the biggest doping scandals in baseball.
Medical records of Biogenesis were acquired from an employee of the clinic. The records were displayed on the site of the newspaper Miami New Times. Reporters said that the employee who gave the records didn’t want to be identified.
It is reported that steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other prescription medications are widely sold illegally by anti-aging clinics. Furthermore, clinics hire physicians that provide fake prescriptions. Prescriptions for anabolic steroids and other related medicines are often given to clients without proper evaluation of their individual conditions. Moreover, physicians supply clients with needed prescriptions even without seeing them. In additions to these aspects, certain corrupt physicians permit anti-aging clinics to use their prescription pads. Thus, anti-aging clinics sell steroids, painkillers and other prescription medications illicitly, as if they worked legally.
When illegal activities of anti-aging clinics become obvious, owners of clinics, physicians and several employees are sentenced to several penalties. Nevertheless, the risk to get punishment doesn’t stop clinics from their illicit operations. However proper authorities try to eradicate illicit sale of prescription medications, their success is not yet essential.
