The Munich prosecutors say a 45-year-old British national has
been running an underground laboratory in Waldkraiburg, near
Munich, since 2009.
He is accused of producing anabolic steroid drugs for athletes
and body builders. A 36-year-old German is accused of helping
him.
Purchasing the required substances in countries outside Europe,
he sold the drugs online to customers across Germany, earning
about 120,000 euros ($130,000), the indictment said.
The prosecutor's office said the substances distributed exceeded
the legal limit for personal use by more than 27,000 times.
The other four indicted Germans, aged 31 to 59 years, were
accused of purchasing some of the products.
All the suspects have admitted to the allegations and are being
detained.
A trial date is scheduled for next Monday.
