Chet Sandhu is a former smuggler. He estimates that he trafficked over $50 million worth of illegal steroids.
In the mid-1990s, Sandhu operated a steroid-trafficking network that sourced its supply from Karachi, Pakistan, and transported it via routes including the Netherlands, France, and Spain to the United Kingdom by bribing airport security. He was arrested during a smuggling run and sentenced to 4 ½ years in the Fontcalent correctional facility in Alicante, Spain, one of Europe’s most infamous prisons.
Sandhu speaks with Business Insider about the underground anabolic-steroid market, explaining how testosterone and other performance-enhancing drugs make their way to street dealers, local gyms, and online platforms. He highlights the harsh prison sentences imposed in some countries and advocates for steroid use to be handled as a medical issue.
Since his release from prison, Sandhu has written two books, "From King of Karachi to Lockdown in the Costa Del Crime" and "Self-Made, Dues Paid." He now runs a CBD company.
