A New Zealand man has been caught trying to smuggle about
7000 illegal steroid tablets into Australia in his underwear.
Customs officers at Melbourne Airport stopped the 23-year-old
man, who arrived on a flight from Bangkok, when they
suspected he was concealing something inside his clothing on
Friday.
A search revealed about 7000 tablets, believed to be
Dianabol, concealed in four snap-lock plastic bags inside his
underwear.
Officers also found a 100ml bottle labelled "Finexol" and 100
"Trenabolone Acetate" tablets.
The man has been charged with smuggling prohibited imports
and is due to face the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on
September 17.
The maximum penalty for the offence is five years jail and/or
a $A110,000 ($NZ136,815) fine.
