I have been noticing lately that their are quite a few Police officers here in Switzerland who look buff...like really buff..almost too buff.

The look like they are body builders or something and definately look like they have been taking steriods; if you get what I mean. Some of their muscles are massive..and it just looks unnatural.

Just wondering if Im the only one who has noticed this or is it just a Basel police thing?

I've thought the same about some in Zurich too. Definitely in comparison to the police in the UK. Maybe the uniforms are designed more to give the impression of an imposing physique though.

Interestingly I saw one in the bakery this morning, who was quite short for a police officer, but had such a pumped chest he looked like he had breasts, yet his arms were normal. And yes it was definitely a he!

Pictures, please!

fewa round zurich airport as well and there is no way the muscle development is natural.

Peh, you should just have seen those go go dancers at the gay bar in Zurich... talking about buff!

And the roids definitely had NO impact on their manhood, which they fondled beyond suggestively.

Back on topic - you have to pass a pretty tough fitness test to join the police force here (that includes the nice people who check you bags at the airport) and since people are generally encouraged to eat well, I guess the exercise goes a long way. I used to date a Securitas guy who looked like he took stuff but he definitely didn't, just had protein shakes a lot and did weights three times a week.

Have noticed the same, the policeman I reported to after I got mugged was a huge guy as well, but didn't look like he was on steroids, just a naturally very muscular guy, accented by his scarves on the forehead and the tattoo on his neck he didn't look like a guy you wanted to mess with.

I'm just not convinced that some of them are not on steriods..its the neck; if its really big it leads me to think that they must be taking something.

And I would have loved to take a pic and post it here..but you know its slightly awkard to take a picture of a police officer who looks like rambo. Just saying

That is not necessarily steroids, some cops are simply a special breed - Swiss short horns.
