Experts were shocked by the effects of the substance GW1516.
The drugs in the picture are not related to the case. PDO
A drug that the Australian Anti-Doping Organization describes as lethal is being sold in Sweden. To write about it Expressen.
The product called GW1516 can be bought as a supplement in many Swedish online stores. A pack of 60 tablets costs a good 40 euros.
GW1516 is classified as a doping agent because it is said to improve endurance and help with weight loss. At one time, its developers hoped it would be “workout in the form of a pill”, but the end result was indeed dangerous.
The substance has a strong carcinogenic effect. However, this is not mentioned on the side of the jar.
– It’s fucking scary. This is the scariest substance on the market, the boss of the Swedish Anti-Doping Agency Jenny Schulze terrifies, according to Expressen.
The TV face of SVT and Discovery Jonas Karlsson is shocked by how easy it is to sell life-threatening doping substances in Sweden.
– The labels are not precise, which is the result of insufficient legislation and supervision in Sweden. The manufacturers’ requirements are low, and because there is a lot of money involved in pharmaceuticals, this is an attractive business for many, says Karlsson.
Among others, 800-meter Olympic medalist Nijel Amos, 110-meter hurdles Olympic medalist Ronald Levy and the teenage star Issam Asinga, dubbed the “new Usain Bolt”, have complained about the use of GW1516.
