Some sixty persons are suspected of doping offense and has been released from urine samples. Police seized besides doping although weapons and drugs.
The operation was directed against some 40 gyms in the Stockholm area in which the use of anabolic steroids is suspected.
- It is worrying that we are seeing an increase in anabolic steroids among young people. It is important to intervene at an earlier stage to try to prevent young people becoming dependent on doping, "says Torgny S?derberg's detective and intermediate leaders at the County Police said in a statement.

"Very Young"

Two people were arrested and about sixty are reasonably suspected of doping offenses.
- These have provide a urine sample which will now be analyzed. It is worrying that many of those suspects are very young, one only 17 years. It shows how important anti-doping work is, "said Ulf G?ranzon who is press officer at the Stockholm police.
At the law, the police seized in addition to doping also weapons and drugs.

Sad news indeed. They have given up on true drug pushers and hardened criminals. To show something and justify their jobs they attack honest working productive everyday citizens.

Doing what I do in the gym is a lot better than what I used to do as a youth with all the alcohol & drugs I used to do, the authorities are picking up on easy targets for the wrong reasons.

sounds pretty expensive for all those drug test. with the economy the way it is. all though i dont condone teenage kids doing steroids. their hormone levels are all ready off the charts at that age. messing with that stage of life could damage glands and hormone secreation for life. some of these kids could possibly end up on hormone replacement for life. we all know how inexpierience and lack of knowledge can end up very bad for these guys. i highly doubt they do the nessesary research. to many of them will have the mind set that more is better, and we all know thats not the case. anyhow just my thoughts on the subject.

And I thought the Swedes were laid back people who never liked to take sides in anything?? This law needs to be challened to the highest court in Sweden. There is no way this would fly in America its an invasion of privacy to demand a piss test just because you think I'm doing something...whats next arresting innocent people walking down the street because you suspect they might be thinking about committing a crime??

Bullshit.

Well said. They are helpless to stop the heroin and crack so they go after the easy target. It's safer for them to
