Australian Customs officials seized 150 bottles of steroids disguised as ‘gay lube oil’ thwarting a smuggling network’s latest attempt at bringing the banned substances into the country. The bottles contained testosterone and deca durabolin and were found in Victoria, Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.

Customs spokesman, Richard Janeczko, says the steroids have been smuggled into the country in several different ways.

“These goods are found mainly coming through the mail, express mail, some of them have come in through passengers, others have come in through people carrying them in.”

Mr Janeckzo, says people take steroids to try to look good.

“The bulk of the people we investigate are actually not elite sports people. The people that want to enhance their image either gym people, security guards, bikies.”

I don’t use steroids but a bottle labeled gay lube oil would make me stop. If somebody saw me with the vial how would I justify it? I can admit to using steroids or bite the bullet and say ‘what, you’ve never tried this?’, but either way I lost.

Too bad the steroids being investigated in the Mitchell Report weren’t smuggled in this way. It would have been funny as hell to see ballplayers in front of Congress testifying about the clear, the cream, and the gay lube oil.
