| 释义 |
In 2003, Operation TKO was a probe conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). As a result of operation TKO, U.S. and Mexican authorities shut down the Mexico City company, Laboratorios Ttokkyo, which was the biggest producer of ketamine in Mexico producing almost 80%-to-90% of the Ketamine found in the United States. This was also the most successful crackdown ever on performance-enhancing drugs. The original goal of the operation was to cut off the supply of ketamine but it led to stopping the production of illegal steroids.,[1][2] Subsequently, Ernesto Chevreuil Bravo, 43, a Tijuana veterinary pharmacy owner, was convicted of distributing the material, while Ttokkyo owner Jose Francisco Molina was deported to Mexico, where he is facing similar charges.[3] Ketamine in SocietyAccording to the DEA, over 80% of Ketamine seized in the U.S. is of Mexican origin. The World Health Organization Expert Committee on Drug Dependence, in its thirty third report, recommended research into its recreational use/misuse due to growing concerns about its rising popularity in Europe, Asia and North America. This due in part to its prevention of depression.[4] References1. ^SI.com - More Sports - The Mexican Connection (cont.) - Wednesday July 18, 2007 3:35PM 2. ^"Breakup of Drug Ring is Momentary Victory" [https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/29/sports/baseball/29doping.html?n=Top/News/World/Countries%20and%20Territories/China&pagewanted=print New York Times] September 29, 2007 3. ^"Tijuanan gets prison in ketamine case" San Diego Union Tribune April 26, 2005 4. ^ABC News: Ketamine, a Tranquilizer and Popular Club Drug, May Work for Depression 1 : Drug Enforcement Administration operations |
