STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A Stockholm, Sweden, police officer forced a muscular man to take a drug test, claiming his "abnormal" muscle mass implied steroid use.
Tomislav Boduljak said he and a friend were speaking to a female police officer and her initially friendly demeanor changed when he mentioned his workout habits, The Local reported Monday.
"I asked if she didn't think it possible that I work out a lot and eat well. She said that if someone looks like me, she assumes they have taken drugs," he said.
The officer said in her report that Boduljak had "unusually large muscles, particularly large arm muscles, which are a sign of steroid use."
She forced Boduljak to accompany her to the police station and take a urine test. The results came back negative and Boduljak filed a complaint about the officer, but prosecutors declined to press charges.
