Steroids have been used in
bodybuilding and other sports since the 1950's. They were legal
until 1990 when they joined other banned substances such as cocaine,
heroin, and methamphetamines as being illegal. Many athletes
including Arnold Schwarzenegger and football great Lyle Alzado have
admitted to using steroids to help them become better athletes.
Because steroids are illegal without a prescription in almost every
country in the world they are only available to the recreational user on
the "black market". The black market consists of all
steroids, counterfeits, and other illegal drugs that are purchased from
a source other than directly from a pharmacy or a physician. As
everyone
knows, when a product is available only on the black market the demand
of it goes up while the supply goes down.
This means that 95%+ of all athletes that use steroids are doing
so illegally. This,
unfortunately, leaves the door wide open for counterfeits.
Most counterfeits don’t even contain anabolic or androgenic
substances and are potentially un-sterile.
Probably the biggest problem with fake steroids is the fact that
most athletes using steroidal compounds are not familiar with the real
ones and must put their trust into someone else.
