Aussies Halt Steroid Smuggling Ring
July 30, 2008 |
Customs agents in Australia have recently halted a liquid steroids smuggling ring in which testosterone and other performance enhancing drugs were being concealed inside bottles from Thailand marked “gay lube oil.” Over 150 bottles have been seized in Victoria, Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia since January (hey, what’s wrong with the Northern Territory?). A customs agent noted the smugglers perhaps felt agents would not examine the bottles “because…it’s a bit yucky or whatever.” They clearly underestimated the intrepid Aussie customs agents. Porn companies selling “leather cleaner” or imported lube might do well to double-check their bottles aren’t manufactured in Thailand. Among other issues, it would certainly create awkward situations on set. [H/T LiveNews via Towleroad.]

I wonder if it had a different name from “gay lube oil” it would have got through the customs? [Unless the one who discovered it, and probably a promotion, is anti-gay!
