For some reason it seems like there are fewer and fewer of these busts happening. Maybe they just aren't making the headlines as much any more?

Or more than likely they are waiting to do a big round up

T-Bar that's a good point. With so many new drugs and synthetic drugs on the market, I'm sure police and Feds are staying busy and maybe not looking at steroids much anymore.

history tells us its the calm before the storm. Busting lab after lab makes.leads run dry. They do more damage doing a multi year investigation, instead of busting using them to follow the cookie trail

Well we all at some point have known a LE, or something similar. I happen to know a DEA agent and he flat out said that their main concern is the heroin epidemic and meth. Hell him and his team are juicing lol

Yep and unfortunately the DEA has to bust labs in order to keep Joe public and Taylor Hooten happy. With all the heroin, fentanyl deaths they have entire cities and suburbs being affected. But like Grim said calm before the storm. I'm sure a big one is coming and it wouldn't surprise me if it takes down quite a few especially since open source boards are everywhere

They don't work like that.

So a DEA and his team are going to risk their career AND Federal charges ...so he can tell you they are juicing? I don't believe that for one minute bro. Leave the internet urban myth stories elsewhere. And I do happen to know DEA much more than you claim, and can assure you any agent would NEVER work their ass off to get there then risk it all and family to tell some nobody about their illegal activities.

A person very close to my family is a high ranking govt agent... I have picked his brain on several occasions about "how it works"...I assure you, if they got you dead to rights, your going down now. Now this is just according to a person who truly knows the system, hell he helped design the system.

operation raw deal almost 2 years of connecting the dots before the hammer was laid. they did not arrest suspect by suspect, that is not how investigations go, especially large operations

 

[GRIM]

operation pipe dream, hammer laid all at once after connecting dots

there are tons of these

The DEA did a roundup after working a case where I live. Crack/Heroin dealers. Year long investigation. They build a lot of evidence up on people or a person before they snatch them and arrest them.

As far as using steroids, there's plenty of federal agents and local agents using steroids. I think it's dumb if they talk about it, but they do AAS. It's one of those don't ask don't tell issues.

They aren't the bad guys, everyone else who uses it is.
