Anabolic steroids have sparked significant controversy due to their associated side effects and potential dangers. In the United States, using, possessing, or distributing anabolic steroids without a doctor's prescription is illegal. Many of these substances have been rejected by the U.S. FDA, and countries like Canada have similarly strict regulations.
In the sports world, organizations such as the International Olympic Committee, NCAA, and major professional leagues like MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL have banned steroids for athletes. This prohibition has fueled a black market for steroids, often found at gyms or illegal pharmacies. Common street names include Arnolds, Gym Candy, Juice, Pumpers, Stackers, and Weight Trainers.
Steroids are frequently smuggled into the United States and Canada from Mexico and Europe, where prescriptions are not required, making smuggling easier. Additionally, some steroids are illicitly diverted from U.S. pharmacies or manufactured in underground labs.
The internet remains a prevalent source for illegally obtaining steroids. Numerous online stores and pharmacies offer these drugs without prescriptions, despite such purchases being considered illegal importation in the U.S.
In response to the burgeoning black market, increasing misuse, and possible long-term health risks, the U.S. Congress enacted the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in 1991. This law classified anabolic steroids as Schedule III drugs. Consequently, possessing or selling these substances without a valid prescription is a federal crime, carrying severe penalties. Moreover, some states have imposed additional fines and sanctions for illegal steroid use.
