Scandal has hit the Canadian Olympic team after a gold medallist at the Paraolympics was arrested less than a month after his victory at the Vancouver games.

Jim Armstrong, a member of the Canadian curling team, has been charged with trafficking counterfeit goods after he allegedly smuggled thousands of fake Viagra and Cialis pills into the US.  He is thought to have sent the pills via a postal box based in the U.S.

In a report by the Federal Food and Drug Agency, authored by special agent Jim A Burkhardt, it was suggested that Armstrong, 59, collected the pills in order for his son to distribute them in clubs and bars in the Vancouver area.

The drug is popular with clubbers, though the most common method of fraudulent distribution is through sales of Viagra online.

Documents sent to the court say that the pills were sent from China to Los Angeles and were investigated by customs officials when they arrived. They were sent in a cardboard box but aroused suspicions at customs.

When the box was opened it was discovered to contain 2,544 tablets of Viagra and 260 Cialis pills. When they pills were examined, it was noticed that there were slight variations with genuine Viagra and Cialis, showing that they were counterfeit.

Smuggling of counterfeit medication destined to be sold as genuine Viagra, often by websites that claim to sell the prescription-only Viagra online, has become a huge concern for customs and regulators around the world.

Special Agent Jim Burkhardt told the US District Court in Seattle, “Viagra and Cialis are also some of the most common drugs targeted by counterfeiters.

“Most counterfeiters operate outside the United States and often attempt to sell their counterfeit products inside the United States to maximize their profits.”

Armstrong has so far not commented on the allegations that he was illegally trading in Viagra and Cialis, though he is expected to appear in court on the 30^th of April. He has been released on bail, which was set at a $20,000 bond.

The disgraced sportsman acts as skipper for the curling team and lead them to an 8-7 victory over South Korea in March. He previously took part in able-bodied curling competitions before becoming part of the Paraolympic team.

The Canadian Paraolympic Committee has also refused to comment on the situation, other than to say it is a personal matter.
