CBP Chicago incauta 455 libras de esteroides y hormonas desde China valoradas en $3.2 millones. Autoridades desmantelan red masiva de contrabando en carga aérea

Operativo de CBP en Chicago: Incautación récord de sustancias ilegales
Durante el mes de marzo, los oficiales de U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) en Chicago reportaron una actividad intensa que resultó en la incautación de 351 cargamentos de carga aérea.
En total, se confiscaron 455 libras de hormonas de crecimiento humano (HGH) y esteroides no aprobados. Según las autoridades, el valor estimado de estas sustancias en el mercado habría superado los $3.2 millones de dólares.
¿Cómo funciona el contrabando de hormonas y esteroides desde China?
La mayoría de estos envíos se originaron en China y tenían como destino diversas ciudades dentro de los Estados Unidos.
Los contrabandistas utilizaron una técnica de “envío maestro”: cajas de cartón de gran tamaño que ocultaban cientos de paquetes individuales más pequeños y no declarados.
Estos paquetes individuales ya contaban con etiquetas de envío doméstico, listos para ser introducidos en la red de mensajería local una vez superada la aduana, con el fin de llegar directamente a los consumidores finales.
Clasificación legal de los esteroides anabólicos en Estados Unidos
Michael Pfeiffer, oficial superior de la oficina de campo de CBP en Chicago, emitió una advertencia severa para quienes buscan “ofertas” en internet:
“Los ingredientes de estos productos no están verificados y carecen de certificación regulatoria. ¿Realmente quiere poner en riesgo su salud o la de sus hijos por ahorrar dinero?”, cuestionó Pfeiffer.

Peligros y efectos secundarios de la hormona de crecimiento (HGH) sin receta
Es importante recordar que la HGH solo es legal bajo prescripción médica para trastornos de crecimiento específicos. El abuso de estas sustancias puede provocar:
- Cambios de humor drásticos y agresividad.
- Insuficiencia cardíaca y diabetes.
- Crecimiento irreversible de manos, pies y rostro.
- Riesgo incrementado de cáncer.
Por su parte, los esteroides anabólicos están clasificados como sustancias de la Lista III bajo la Ley de Sustancias Controladas, debido a su alto potencial de abuso y dependencia física.
