They keep track of where it was going... It builds up over time I believe
single example? Melissa Bumsted. And that was just a small pack of steroids
There're plenty, you just have to google it
Yeah, "plenty" of examples which is why you have to reach back 3 years to a case that's a complete anomaly when tens of thousands of steroid shipments are seized every year.
This was a private courier shipment from Canada using FedEx, who contacted authorities after a vial leaked and they opened it to repackage the contents.
Even then, the feds declined to pursue the case, calling the local yokel Florida sheriff who couldn't resist going after a high profile bodybuilding pro.
And the end result of all this was....nothing, as usual. A drug counseling session and deferred adjudication and all charges dismissed. She's still out there as an influencer without having missed a beat.
Seizure is so common every vendor has a "reship" policy to contend with it. Some guys here have a half a dozen+ "love letters" from customs.
That certainly isn't going to happen if they find amphetamines, another Sched III controlled substance, you'd be getting a visit for sure so clearly it's a deliberate policy to not prosecute for steroids or you'd be able to find thousands of cases easily.
Every seizure letter means there's evidence in their hands, and they do nothing with it.
I'm not saying getting steroids in the mail is risk free, but in the minuscule number of instances of an end user getting in trouble it's not customs, but an oil soaked package that brings attention to the package, and local cops getting involved. Ordering domestic doesn't do anything to mitigate that risk.
And even that worst case scenario leads to little more than embarrassment and a little expense, since it's treated as a very low level drug possession case, diverted to some form of treatment, dismissed, and wiped from the record.
