Polish police bust major ring making false Viagra

Poland's police say they have arrested 14 people and seized 100,000 fake Viagra pills and 430,000 portions of fake doping substances worth millions of euros in a raid on an illegal factory.

The Police Central Bureau of Investigation said earlier this week it raided the factory in apartment house near Bydgoszcz, in central Poland, and a number of other sites, run by a group that produced and distributed the substances.

They said Thursday it was the biggest illegal factory of fake medication they have seen. They seized substances valued at over 4 million euros ($4.5 million), and some 1 million euros worth of production machines.

Components were brought chiefly from China and the products were offered on the internet.
