Man arrested in steroid-sale sting
Victoria police have seized several types of steroids and other products following a lengthy investigation into activities at Your Vitamin Store in the Mayfair Shopping Centre.

Undercover officers made numerous purchases of anabolic steroids at the store, police said.

The steroids were called M1Ts and were sold in bottles of 80 capsules costing $109.95.


Police said the product contains a controlled substance, as defined by the Controlled Drug and Substances Act of Canada.

Police later executed a search warrant at the store and have forwarded details of what was seized to Health Canada as part of the investigation.

A 33-year-old Victoria man is facing six counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, as well as one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Old news, at least from those in the know. They've been selling that stuff to almost anyone who asks for about 2 years. I can't say who I found this out from, but they;re very trusted by me.

lol....I always walked past that place...it had a shady feel to it....

[The Terminator]

Same, always wanted to walk by and ask if the had some, and then tell them that they're dumbasses for giving it to just anyone. I've heard of young teens buying it from there as well.

Hahaha, that's wicked. "Come on honey, after I grab my M1T let's run over to the food court and get lunch, then next door to Toys R Us for Junior.

You're wrong. Entrapment would be if they (cops) walked up to you and offered to sell you drugs.

cops spend thousands of bucks and hours of time to arrest this guy and he will walk away with probation and a fine... slap on the wrist...you have to love B.C if you are a criminal..no one goes to jail here for small crimes...no room in jails..only harden criminals and violent offenders seem to get locked up...got to love B.C :yeah...**** the police...lol..lol..****ing weasels...

[champcar99]

do you think they are the only store to sell gear under the counter....NO...lol..

[Shogun]

Might get a small stay at one of BC's luxury minimum security resorts, with mini golf, and a sunday mcdonalds ordering menu. What a joke.

[BolicPower]

that's to much for something as minor as gear, it's far from bad. i knew a person in Burlington , Ont. that was also getting from a health store. i guess those are the hot spots.

not even he will spend probably a few hours in a holding cell till paper work is done and released with a promice to appear...good for him...

your tax dollars at work.

[tiramisu]

Entrapment is an american concept not a canadian one.

[xxSCHiSMxx]

your tax dollars at work.
It's sad. Wasted money investigating something so small. If dude gets any time, more money to keep him in jail. When it's all said, and done, it's gonna be hella amount of money, for M1T. (>.<)

With the Olympics coming, it's gonna be interesting to see if bs like this increases.

There's really something wrong when anyone, any age, can score whatever rec drug they want w/ little to no effort. Everything is so twisted. :\

[Houstonbc]

im pretty sure 80&#37; or more of supplement stores sell m1t at least where im from they do

[trykillthis]

1 health food store near me sells the m1t, andro, and dhea if you ask for it.

[outshine]

all the health food stores I frequent sell ephedra based fat burners and m1ts under the counter, there must be a common distributer since all are pretty much the same brand.

[Monka]

Half the cops in my city are on m1t LOL.

This sounds like a competitor ratted him out. They wouldn't go out and investigate this out of the blue unless there was a complaint (rat) and they are forced to act on it.
Exactly, or some jealous losser

[champcar99]

too find that out all he has to do is ask for the Particulars ...that will tell him everything about the case except the name and adress of the informant..it will tell you what was said, when it was said, what time it was bought, how much was bought..pretty much everything leading up to the arrest and siezure of goods at the adress on the search warrant....

Ok who cares about some store gettin busted for M1t's. The more forums that blabber on and on about such a tiny pathetic bust, the more tips and clues that the pigs and cocksucker narcs pick up on. And believe me there are a handfull of them in every bodybuilding forum.

what? you mean to tell me that talking about a shitty little bust is gonna be more of a heat-score than discussing ug labs and posting pics of the products along with user reviews?

[chan_ho_nam]

Its stupid the police would waste time investigating something like that, but at the same time I'm glad those things are off the shelves. People who know how to use them should have access, everyone else should just bugger off.

[srt8]

Selling drugs is bad, atleast that's what Jesus told me.

[L3]

good i hope they fine that guy a tonne ****ing asshole selling that shit to kids



Here's the issue.. The owner sold M1T's to a ****ing 15 year old, and the kid's parents caught wind of it and called the 5-0. The owner had a VERY firm warning a few months ago, yet still continued to sell them.

Had he been more selective with who he was dealing with, this never would have been an issue. The problem is that when CHILDREN are getting their hands on illegal products (whether it's M1T's or crack, it's still a controlled substance) and the 5-0 do nothing about it, it makes them look like they're lazy and not doing their job.. They have a public image to uphold, plain and simple. Thus, the store got popped..

this has def been going on in burlington, been offered to me a few times. Can't imagine why anyone would want to take that risk especially when there trying to sell it to kids and shit.

[Monka]

Not sure of Burlington, but imo, theres one im all cities, i know hamilton was bad as well... and the owner was told ALL the time, to smarten up. Dont know what happened but , dont even has to be gear, Some health stores, sell other things that are illegal, grey market you could say and , if you dont' know the customer, it's insane to sell..... No matter what.. i'm sure health stores are hard to keep a float, but this dude was selling to kids??? man, that's BS, just for a few bucks they risk there store..

[muscleshark]

No but talking about how other "vitamin" stores gettin busted in the past just points them in that direction all the time, and sooner or later they will be busting more than just M1t's.

This is one of the smartest things you've said.

Haha.. the exact same thing happened in Kingston were the owner of a health food store sold M1T to a teenager. The teens parents found out and called the police.

This started an investigation, after about three months of investigation; they raided the store and residence. They found many m1ts as well as many mexican vet steroids.

[Seth]

^ I wish I had known that when I lived in k-town

[physique]

alot of you dont know the whole story in this case. This guy wouldnt have even had the cops sniff him out if he had used his pee sized brain better.

How this entire thing got started was he sold M1T to a 15 yr old kid. He went home his mommy found it, and called police after researching it on the internet. The kids parents pushed for this guy to be charged, the cops didnt have a choice. They didnt watch him very long, and didnt spend nearly the thousands of dollars you guys think they did.

Also instead of this prick taking what he was charged with like a man, he sung like a bird. ratting out his suppliers, and numerous big chain stores.
So if there are any reflex, popeyes, fuel, your gym bag, owners on this site that have stores in BC and alberta, and u sell this stuff behind the counter. you would be wise to settle down for a while as this **** ratted everyone out!!!!!!!!!!!!

crap just noticed flexy beat me to the stpry

[t-bone]

just heard on the radio guy in north van got popped for same thing. Do these store owners not realize that to the law they are selling roids to walk up clients?

[BolicPower]

Yes, the store owners know.. But the grey market products are one of the few things that actually have a decent margin attached to them. If every supplement store sold nothing but 'legal' products they'd all go tits-up within a month. Good point, people have to eat! So what, they sell grey things, but to kids is wrong, i belive most store owners feel out clients better then that person did,. Most stores i've been to have US products, thats not legal but they need this stuff to make a living.

The owners of the SVN Canada in North Vancouver, British Columbia were arrested for allegedly selling the anabolic steroid methyl-1-testosterone (M1T) to teenagers. The arrest comes less than a week after an employee of ‘Your Vitamin Store’ (YVS Victoria) in nearby Victoria, British Columbia was also arrested for selling M1T. Charges in both cases involved trafficking and possession of a controlled substance (anabolic steroids) (”North Van RCMP arrest nutrition shop owners for alleged steroid sales to teens,” October 20).

Const. Marlene Morton said “a substantial amount” of a bodybuilding drug called Methyl-1-Testosterone was seized from Lower Lonsdale area shop SVN Canada, following a year-long investigation.

The store’s owners, Joao Melo, 28, and Sylvie Tran, 26, of North Vancouver, have been charged with trafficking in a controlled substance and further charges are pending, Morton said.

Health Canada issued a warning in April 2006 advising all consumers that M1T was an illegal anabolic steroid. The recent steroid arrests may be the beginning of a crackdown on illicit performance enhancing drugs in advance of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

[t-bone]

m1t is not grey market at all. To the cops its the same as dbol

[kloan]

What a piece of shit.. ratting people out. **** twats like those piss me right off. He was a twat as soon as he sold the shit to a 15yr old. Get some f'in sense.. but then he has to be a crying pussy and rat others out as well.

It always amazes me the amount of sense some people lack.
