Two police officers in southern town Lund spotted a man with large muscles working out at a gym. They took him in on suspicion of narcotics crime, and once at the station made him go through a drugs test. They also frisked the man.

Last month, another Swede was outraged when his own big muscles prevented him from becoming a model.
