Manx bodybuilder gets in trouble for importing personal supply of anabolic steroids.


Mark Richards, a 34-year old bodybuilder living in the Isle of Man, didn’t think twice about ordering a personal supply of anabolic steroids from an internet source. After all, steroid use and possession is decriminalized in Mann.

Of course, steroid trafficking and distribution is highly illegal and convicted steroid dealers could face time in prison. And the eight vial of injectable steroids purchased by Richards would never be confused as a quantity consistent with commercial distribution. So Richards had no worries.

Where are my steroids?​

Richards’ biggest worry was about being scammed. When his order didn’t show up, he repeatedly contacted the Isle of Mans Post Office last summer regarding the whereabouts of his steroid order.

It turned out that Richards was not scammed. His package did arrive at the Post Office on July 3, 2020. However, local authorities had intercepted the “suspicious package”.

Richards learned that he was being charged with the illegal production (importation) of anabolic steroids and other controlled drugs. Apparently, it was legal to use steroids but it was illegal to import them by mail
 
This is what concerns me here in Oregon. Everything is “decriminalized” but I’m sure they can spin something another way to put you away if they wanted
