Steroid prescriptions provided by Australian doctor

Certain doctors abuse their position, prescribing products that don’t meet criteria of medical needs of patients. Why does it happen? It is known that certain medications are considered to be prescription preparations. It means that you can’t purchase them legally, if you don’t have any prescription from your treating physician. Anabolic steroids belong to such drugs. It is illegal to buy steroids without a prescription in several countries. Those who do it may be punished. They may be enforced to pay a fine and/or go to prison. Of course, a lot of individuals seek ways to get and administer these medications without having legal troubles.
Anabolic steroids are often abused. Many sportspersons and bodybuilders administer these products not for clinical purposes but for enhancement of performance. If they live in countries where these medications can’t be bought legally without prescriptions, they find some ways to mask their illicit purchase and application. Athletes, bodybuilders and even ordinary people ask their physicians to prescribe them these medicines, as if they had clinical needs to administer them. Thus, certain physicians induce selling anabolic steroids to those that abuse them. Here is a situation.
Peter Grant, an Australian health care provider, recommended steroids to 14 patients during 9 years. Medical state of these persons didn’t require administration of these medications. So, the health care provider was accused of improper practicing medicine. For example, he recommended to a patient applying such drugs, as Halotestin, Sustanon, Andriol Testocaps, Deca Durabolin, Scitropin and Proviron. But there was no any medical basis to recommend these medications to this individual. Furthermore, these medicines were recommended him during 9 years.
The health care provider Peter Grant acknowledged that certain patients were competing. So, he prescribed them steroids. He also admitted to studying scientific information about anabolic steroids. He claimed that he knew how steroids acted. Thus, he supervised the patients that took anabolic steroids.
Taking these aspects into account, it is possible to confirm that the physician Peter Grant was better known by those that administered steroids for performance-enhancing effects than by those that had to be cured from some diseases. Peter Grant affirmed that he knew that steroids were bought by his patients just for personal administration.
When the doctor appeared in the court, the judge confirmed that the physician promoted selling steroids. The judge confirmed that Peter Grant had to be punished appropriately. Peter Grant was suspended from practicing medicine for a year. Furthermore, the judge confirmed that he would be disciplined during the next 2 years.
