Australia: NSW cops in steroid dealing scandal

Eight New South Wales police officers have been caught dealing, and in some cases using, illegal steroids.

A two-year investigation run by the Police Integrity Commission has uncovered a steroid ring based in Tamworth in the north of New South Wales.

The drugs were purchased over the internet and imported from Thailand before being on-sold.

One officer, who appealed against his dismissal over the matter, acted as a police informant.

One senior constable admitted to the commission he had been using the drugs himself.

New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione issued a statement saying that the matter demonstrates a zero-tolerance approach to police who fail to uphold the oath of office.

He says any officers who do not do the right thing are charged and put before the courts.

The operation investigating the drug ring wrapped up last year and the details of the matter only emerged when one of the officers sacked for using the drug unsuccessfully appealed against his dismissal.
