Former Bodybuilder Turned Pharmacist Felecia Hamilton Accused of Dispensing Muscle-Building Steroid Stacks to Customers

Felecia Hamilton, a former competitive bodybuilder and founder of Hamilton’s Wellness and Compounding Pharmacy in Western Australia, has been accused of failing to use her professional judgment when dispensing anabolic steroids, such as Sustanon and Deca Durabolin, to customers.

The Pharmacy Board of Australia had a big problem with the unusual quantities and combinations of anabolic steroids that Hamilton dispensed to customers. Her customers all had valid medical prescriptions that were given to them by their doctors. However, the Pharmacy Board expected Hamilton to do far more than merely dispense medications according to the prescriptions.

As a trained and licensed pharmacist, Hamilton was supposed to act as a “final check on the prescribing practices of doctors”. Hamilton should have known that the quantities and combinations of steroids that she dispensed were more consistent with bodybuilding steroid stacks than legitimate therapeutic dosages.

“The primary complaint in this matter is that she (Ms Hamilton) failed to perform her important role as a final check on the prescribing practices of the doctors by failing to exercise her own independent professional judgement,” according to the Pharmacy Board of Australia.

“The fact is she dispensed combinations of anabolic steroids that she either knew or should have known were not for therapeutic purpose.They were likely to constitute an unacceptable hazard to the health of patients and others whom those drugs could be on sold and had the potential for misuse, abuse or psychological and physical dependency.”

Hamilton may have even been expected to know more about the typical patterns of steroid use by bodybuilders since she was once a competitive bodybuilder herself. Furthermore, Hamilton currently offers “competition preparation” services for amateur and elite athletes.

“At Hamilton’s we can help you prepare for an event or devise a plan for the event day that suits you and your field of expertise,” according to the Hamilton’s Compouding Pharmacy website. “We specialise in Sports Medicine and can create the best approach to prevention of fatigue, enhanced recovery, improved performance and general athletic promotion. From amateur to elite we will enhance your athletic performance and well being. Felecia Hamilton is the clinical pharmacist and has a post graduate in Sports Medicine with theoretical and personal experience that spans over 20 years combined.”

Hamilton has officially been accused of “professional misconduct” and/or “unprofessional conduct” and/or “unsatisfactory professional performance” based on her dispensing of anabolic steroids between January 1, 2008 and April 30, 2009. The charges were based on the findings of Robert Batemen of the Pharmaceutical Services Branch after an audit by the Department of Health. “The Bateman Report” was published on June 26, 2009.

Hamilton complained that she was never notified that anyone had any problems regarding her dispensing of anabolic steroids until August 6, 2015. This was full 6 years after the alleged misconduct occurred. If such serious problems were found during the 2009 audit, Hamilton wondered why she was not immediately notified.
