This retrospective study evaluates the content, the destination and the source of 960 postal items seized by the Swiss customs authorities at the Swiss border between 2013 and 2014. The packages were seized because they contained at least one prohibited doping product as identified by the Swiss law on encouraging sports and physical activity. A total number of 1825 different doping products were confiscated from these parcels, accounting for an average of 1.9 doping products per seized item. In 74% of the cases, where seizures were made, anabolic androgenic steroids, mostly testosterone esters, were discovered. An obvious trading channel for doping products was identified in this study. The seized compounds were predominately manufactured in Asian countries, but sent to Switzerland mostly via South Eastern Europe countries. Due to the unique collaboration between the Swiss customs authorities and the national anti-doping agency, this study uncovered an alarming trend of illegal doping product trafficked to Switzerland.
这项回顾性研究评估了2013年至2014年期间瑞士海关当局在瑞士边境查获的960件邮政物品的内容、目的地和来源。这些包裹被查获是因为它们含有至少一种瑞士鼓励体育和体育活动法律所认定的违禁兴奋剂产品。从这些包裹中共没收了1825种不同的兴奋剂产品，平均每件查获物品中有1.9种兴奋剂产品。在74%的查获案件中，发现了合成代谢雄性类固醇，主要是睾酮酯。本研究确定了一个明显的兴奋剂产品交易渠道。查获的化合物主要在亚洲国家生产，但大多通过东南欧国家运往瑞士。由于瑞士海关当局与国家反兴奋剂机构之间的独特合作，本研究揭示了非法兴奋剂产品运往瑞士的惊人趋势。
