Customs officials at Bulgaria’s Danube Bridge 2 checkpoint in Vidin, at the border with Romania, have seized nearly 15,000 vials marked as containing anabolic steroids being smuggled in a Slovak-registered van.

The vehicle carried packages of dog food to Slovakia, according to the cargo manifest. The starting point of the trip was not disclosed.

During the inspection of the van customs officers found 14,820 vials marked as containing 15 mg of Norditropin SimpleXx each and stashed underneath the declared cargo, the National Customs Agency said in a statement on Wednesday. The market price of a vial of Norditropin SimpleXx 15mg/1,5ml is in excess of BGN 1,000 (EUR 500), according to the statement.

The instructions for use printed on the vials were in Turkish. The inspection revealed that the name of the sender was fictitious.

Norditropin is an anabolic steroid used for accumulation of body mass during fitness exercises. Bulgarian authorities will now have to verify whether the content of the vials corresponds to the description printed on them.

1mg = 2.7IU, so a single vial of 15mg GH is about 40IUs. I guess 40 IUs of pharm grade GH goes for 500 Euros? I guess that's not preposterous, but seems high.

In any event, almost 15,000 vials of GH confiscated in that seizure...

Christ was a wine o bro. So it'd have to be wine sampling at a vineyard, would be a more accurate descriptive Anecdote.

That bridge is near the site of the famous "crossing". A crossing made by Swedish farmers in 376AD that changed the course of world history. Those "farmers" called themselves Goths. The Goths took things. Villages, towns, cities, ships, empires. They slaughtered 3 Roman armies, killed 2 Roman emperors, sacked Rome and destroyed the western Roman empire. How could they have done this? Sheer physical size and superiority. They were around 6'10"(208cm) and heavily muscled. Since everything in those days was physical combat, the Goths were superior at this and dominated everyone they came across even other Germanic tribes.
