BOISE - A federally issued search warrant was served at the Bodybuilding.com headquarters in Meridian, as well as their warehouse in Boise Thursday.
Wendy Olsen from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boise confirms the search was done following a two-year investigation into the Treasure Valley-based company.
An affadavit sent to KTVB by the U.S. Attorney's Office alleges Bodybuilding.com is currently distributing products that contain illegal anabolic steroids while fraudulently marketing them as dietary supplements.
According to the affadavit, five FDA warning letters related to the illegal distribution of these products were sent to Bodybuilding.com over the past several years.
In response to those letters, the affadavit says Bodybuilding.com CEO Ryan Deluca said he had taken action to keep the products they market in compliance with Food and Drug Administration and Federal Trade Commission regulations.
We are continuing to learn more about this investigation into the Meridian-based company.
