AustraliaTwo individuals, a 32-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man from Brighton East, have been charged with trafficking steroids, possessing cocaine, and common assault after allegedly posing as doctors and administering injections to a man with a long-term illness. The pair reportedly charged over $20,000 for their 'botched treatments' which included substances like vitamins and protein powder. During searches of their residences, authorities discovered a stash of cocaine and significant quantities of prescription medications, including testosterone and synthetic anabolic steroids. The accused faces additional charges from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency for falsely claiming to be registered medical professionals.
