Prominent athletes obtain doping products from anti-aging clinics

Many anti-aging clinics are linked with doping scandals. It’s naturally because they supply athletes and bodybuilders with steroids and other related medicines. When proper authorities search anti-aging clinics and confiscate documents, they find out that some well-known sport figures belong to clients of the clinics.
Lately several anti-aging clinics located in Miami were investigated. Feds found that the clinics offered prescription drugs for sale illegally. The clinics sold preparations for enhancement of muscle mass, weight loss, enhancement 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. Moreover, such well-known baseball players, as Alex Rodriquez and Melky Cabrera purchased doping products at Biogenesis of America. So, the anti-aging clinic appeared to be related to one of the biggest steroid scandals in baseball.
Medical records of Biogenesis were received from an employee of the clinic. The records were displayed on the website 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 medicines are widely offered for sale illegally by anti-aging clinics. Furthermore, clinics hire physicians that provide fake prescriptions. Prescriptions for steroids and other related drugs are often given to clients without required evaluation of their personal conditions. Furthermore, physicians supply clients with needed prescriptions even without seeing them. In additions to these aspects, some corrupt physicians allow anti-aging clinics to utilize their prescription pads. So, anti-aging clinics sell anabolic steroids, painkillers and other prescription medicines illicitly, as if they acted legally.
When illegal operations of anti-aging clinics become obvious, owners of clinics, physicians and certain employees are sentenced to several sanctions. Nonetheless, the risk to receive punishment doesn’t stop clinics from their illegal activities. However proper authorities try to eliminate illicit sale of prescription drugs, their success is not yet significant.
