Feds Arrest 90, Seize 16 ‘Steroid Labs’

Federal agents arrested more than 90 people in raids that included the seizure of 16 facilities purported to be secret steroid labs. The Drug Enforcement Administration said Monday that agents in its Operation Cyber Juice seized 134,000 doses of illegal steroids, more than 1,300 pounds of steroid power, almost 2,100 gallons of raw steroid liquid, and more than $2 million in cash since April. Agents from the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service also played a role in the 20-state operation. Authorities said many of the drugs discovered in the underground labs are believed to have originated from Chinese chemical manufacturing companies and converted into powerful steroids.
