Influencers associated with Gencore Global, a wellness brand, are reportedly involved in promoting an illegal steroid market through Telegram channels. These influencers, with a combined following exceeding 180,000 on social media, direct their audiences to platforms selling steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs, blurring the lines between fitness culture and illegal drug promotion.
The Telegram group, initially known as Rohm and now rebranded as Anabolic By Nature, has been linked to Gencore ambassadors who openly discuss their steroid use and provide advice on drug transportation. Experts warn that this trend poses significant health risks and raises concerns about the normalization of steroid use within fitness communities.
