Why are steroids illegal

[stevesmi]

One thing I've noticed is a HUGE increase of popularity in TRT. It's crazy at the amount of people going on and getting approved for it these days. There used to just be the clinics in FL and CA but now it's more mainstream.

The pharmacies and manufacturers have a huge back orders on it. As my pharmacist expresses - "it's liquid gold" and can never get enough to keep on the shelves.

With the increase of getting put on TRT, it's pretty much just as good, if not a better option as being legal. At least you can be monitored by a doctor while doing so. And if you find a decent doctor, your dose can be a very effective amount. Where they won't just keep you "above normal" levels.

really the thread should be about the way docs and patients are abusing TRT. instead of exhausting other remedies such as lifestyle, diet, exercise, etc. docs are being trained to put guys on TRT right away. you even have 20 year olds going on them

Almost all federal agencies other than the FDA were AGAINST banning steroids...

For the general public your right. But in sports it would turn into an arms race where the rich get the better drugs and doctors.

Thats already how it is.

I would wager the reason they are illegal is simply to curtail their use. Every day here for the last 13+ years you see posts by people who jumped on a cycle and have no business using AAS due to their current health status or lack of education about what they are using.

Its just one more way for the government to try and protect stupid people from themselves. Like forcing companies to label the coffee cups the contents is hot.

that's my position exactly as well. as much as people use steroids now in the US, if they were legal and available at the corner pharmacy you would have even more idiots using them .. when I was in the Dominican working out in a gym (roids are legal) a local young kid was there and he had no shirt on and he literally had D cups, his gyno was out of control... and he had a major case of roid rage going around the gym being a prick to everyone.. he was probably 16 or 17 years old. he was strong as an ox but too bad he had no clue what he was doing and had no business using.

many steroids aren't illegal in the US if you have a Rx for them. no different than Viagra or Cialis.

and its not like its hard to get either so why even bitch about it? if they were legalized then the pharma companies would take over and jack up the prices.. its actually better the way it is now. as long as you aren't selling them or doing something stupid like driving around with them and getting pulled over you have virtually zero chance of ever having to worry about it.

as for your question well they are illegal because congress made them illegal because Olympic athletes were abusing them. the DEA and feds didn't want them to be banned at all. they have enough on their plate than go after gym rats

it is way cheaper to do it on your own than through a doc anyway, unless you have really really good insurance. it will end up costing you less than the cost of your cell phone bill

at 60 years old I would pull the trigger on TRT in a heartbeat, not even a question in my mind .. and I would also shoot for HGH too if I could afford it

Have an big name bodybuilders been caught ... Surely they would have someone doing all the carrying for them

Never has been one documented overdose of steroids, not one.
"Where are the bodies?"

Massive debate but why are they illegal...when bodybuilding in the ifbb use of enhancements are so highly used ... Don't get me wrong I've ran heaps of cycles and won't ever look back... But I have always wondered why is one of the biggest sports in the world bodybuilding ... Obviously involves steroids etc etc yet it's still illegal ... Surely some big name bodybuilders even small time bodybuilders have been caught with substances... Even for personal use

They are not illegal everywwhere. In most places that they are they are definitely classified
in the wrong category. People can do botox,,plastic surgery, breast implants, etc,,,and someone
looking to increase physical performance is scrutinized.
