Testosterone, Androgens, Muscle Growth & Performance Hormones
Many bodybuilders, powerlifters and other athletes in gyms worldwide use anabolic steroids to increase muscle size and strength. Anabolic steroids are classified as controlled substances under U.S. federal law and the laws of many states. Since their non-medical possession or sale is illegal, strength athletes must not only consider the possible side effects and health risks but also the potential legal consequences of anabolic steroid involvement. Many athletes who self-administer anabolics have no clue as to what might happen if they were to be caught by law enforcement.
This site includes general information regarding what to do if a person is investigated or arrested in connection with steroids. More broadly, it offers a resource for those seeking unbiased information about anabolic steroids. It discusses what they are, how they work, and why they were developed. It explores how and why, amid reports of growing usage by teenagers and competitive athletes, Congress promulgated the Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990, criminalizing the non-medical use of anabolic steroids. And it objectively evaluates the existing body of medical and scientific evidence regarding steroid-related health risks to help understand whether the Control Act and similar state laws have solved the "steroid problem" or made it worse.
