Thai police and FDA officials raided two Bangkok condominium units, seizing approximately 1.3 million illicit anabolic steroid tablets, along with powder and liquid forms.
The owner, Anuwat, a repeat offender, was arrested for operating the clandestine lab, which produced and packaged steroids using smuggled raw materials.
The illegal products were distributed online to selected customers in fitness circles within Thailand and exported internationally.
Anabolic steroids, synthetic versions of testosterone, are medically prescribed but are frequently misused to increase muscle mass and enhance athletic performance.
