Kumma jollei kundit päässeet Stokiksen reisulla tutustumaan myös putkatilohin...?
Eix tuolla (Sweduissa) voida viedä ketä vaan 'liian lihaksikas' lennosta doping testeihin?
Joo, näin kävi Toney Freemanille.
On December 8, 2010, during a visit to Sweden, Freeman was escorted by the police from
Sundsvall while undertaking a promotional appearance in a local store. The police knew Freeman and other international bodybuilders were coming to Sweden for a fitness festival from promotional posters. According to Freeman, he was taken to the police station and was denied a legal representative and forced to give a urine sample.
[3] Reports allege that Freeman tested positive for
testosterone,
human growth hormone, and
cannabis.
[4][5][6][7][8][9] He was released the same day with no charge. On December 31, 2010, Freeman responded to the allegations with an official statement and a video in which he emphasized he had not been treated properly by being denied an advocate or communication with the
U.S. embassy.
[10][11]
Freeman became the first[
citation needed] international professional bodybuilder to be detained by the Swedish police under "muscle profiling",
[12] a
profiling method used by Swedish police in which suspicion of
performance-enhancing drug use is based solely on physical appearance.
[13] The possession of such substances as steroids is illegal in Sweden. According to others who have been detained in this manner, police use the size and appearance of the bodybuilder to detain them, then aim to prove their case with blood or urine samples taken at the station.
[14] Police staff member Henrik Blusi generalized the actions taken against Freeman to all professional bodybuilders, saying: "If you are a professional bodybuilder you should not come to Sundsvall. We are very well informed here. We are currently conducting the largest doping trial in Europe, and then one should understand that we have an eye out for these things now."
