"Shelley Sugarman told a provincial court judge that Joao Melo, 28, only sold the illegal drugs because customers asked him to supply them. "He felt pressure from the customers. He didn't want to lose the rest of their business," she said.
The raid followed an undercover sting operation set in motion after police received complaints that the store was selling the drugs. Officers posing as young men involved in martial arts went to the store several times and bought steroids from the couple, who kept the illegal drugs behind the counter or at the back of the store. The purchase were not entered into the cash register.
Melo told the undercover officers he sold the drug M1T (a short form of methyl-1-testosterone) from Andro Technologies to many people, "mostly bodybuilders and some fighters," said Straith, but also to some kids "who don't ever work out and just want to get bigger."
