As you may know...Steroids are drugs derived from hormones. Anabolic steroids are one group of these drugs. ... At present it is legal to possess anabolic steroids in the UK.\n\nAnabolic steroids - or more precisely, anabolic/androgenic steroids - belong to a group known as ergogenic, or so-called 'performance-enhancing,' drugs. They are synthetic derivatives of testosterone, a natural male hormone. 'Anabolic' means growing or building. 'Androgenic' means masculinizing or generating male sexual characteristics\n\nAt present IT IS LEGAL TO POSSESS anabolic steroids in the UK. However, it is an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act to supply anabolic steroids to another person. Under present UK law the penalties for supplying anabolic steroids are the same as those for supplying any Class B controlled substance\n\nThe International Olympics Committee banned steroids use by all athletes in its member associations in 1975. Since then most major amateur and professional organizations have put the drugs on their list of banned substances. Such bans do not carry any legal penalties.

As an ex-model, steroids had done wonders for my body and my career. I've done them the smart way, under the supervision of a doctor (who's my friend) and few famous professional body builders (I'm a female)\nIt depends how you do steroids, what amounts in what period of time you do, what kind of "antidotes" you use after the "cycle" to clean out your liver/kidneys and whole body.\n\nOne thing that I will vouch for 'till the end of my days is Human Growth Hormone. It is not considered a 'steroid" but you can think of it as one. hGH has saved my life, rebuilt all destroyed organs in my body (as a youngster, I did lots of heavy drugs while partying too much), it made me totally healthy. Since a kit works for 7 years ahead, my body STILL burns fat on it's own, all my wrinkles from tanning too much dissapeared, my hair and skin are just flawless. all doctors I told the truth to, confirmed that it is because I took hGH. When I first started taking it, I was only 18- it made me grow 2 inches taller. And I didn't get any side effects from it, because I took prescribed dosages.\n\nSteroids are not totally "evil". It's evil and wrong to take them without previous research and supervision of those who know how to take them safely.

Are these the pills that you can take that are supposed to make your bum etc bigger?  From the Marie Claire article I read, they aren't available in the UK as they don't pass regs.  So, they won't be available from any legitimate source.

Any form of steroid that you are going to use to bulk up is going to cause you physical harm.

Actually none! It is a very common misconception and confusion that cannabis was in some way legalised in the UK. Posession of cannabis in any form is illegal in this country. However, the police will prosecute to differing levels depending on what they suspect your intention is. Basically if you had a tiny amount they may choose to confiscate it and caution you. A larger amount may get you time for posession. But there is no fixed level that decided when you move from posession to posession with intent. Safest bet is not to have any, and if you do dont have to much, and if you have too much, dont get caught!

The primary steroid he used was Dianabol although he probably used others in conjuction

Professional athletes should not be able to use any performance enhancements. Their abilities should speak for themselves. If you can't play on your own natural talents then pay attention in school. Few athletes ever make it to the professional level and taking drugs is the same as cheating. Steroid usage by athlete is dangerous and unhealthy. They also effects the libido, size of manhood and cause some serious emotional swings.

Yes.  Boxers get tested and it is NOT ok.  It's illegal.\n\nBoxing is actually the only sport that does serious testing for steroids.  \n\nBut they only do it randomly for non-title fights, and even for a famous title fight, they usually test after the fight has happened.  (James Tony got stripped of his win and belt after testing positive, Fernado Vargas got suspended for a year and lost 10% of his money for a fight)  Even though a fighter can use steroids a few times and not get caught, boxing is still the hardest sport to use steroids in cause they test more and give out harder penalties than the other sports.
