Border Police on Germany’s A93 Find Hundreds of Doping Pills Hidden in Passenger’s Underwear

The seized haul far exceeded legal possession limits, prompting an expected charge under Germany’s Anti-Doping Act.

Overview

  • Officers conducting a border check stopped a BMW shortly after midnight near Thiersheim in Upper Franconia close to the Czech border.
  • Grenzfahnder from Selb inspected the 35-year-old passenger and discovered three small plastic containers concealed in his underwear.
  • Police said the tablets totaled roughly twenty times the permitted amount and confiscated the substances on the spot.
  • The man has not been identified publicly and is expected to face a formal accusation for violating the Anti-Doping-Gesetz, with no further case outcome reported.
  • Multiple outlets relayed the police account via dpa, and one local publisher noted partial use of an AI language model in drafting the police notice.
