Again, steroids are legal. They're forbidden by many sporting bodies, but steroids of any kind are legal with a prescription.


This is pedantic. Nobody walks around calling cocaine or fentanyl "legal."

Anabolic steroids were scheduled in 1990 and we're barred by many sporting committees before that.

Taking them for performance reasons in a sport is frankly stupid.


If taken under supervision they are pretty safe and if it means the difference in making millions and not, the choice is not necessarily stupid.

Did you read the OP. This is literally what it said:

"I get that they are against the rules.

But why illegal"

The thread isn't about why they are against the rules of sports. It's about why they're against the law.

And they're no more against the law than any other prescription drug is.

As for cocaine, it is in fact illegal. You can't get a crack prescription.
