The Use of Steroids in the Uk

Steroid use throughout the UK has been a cloudy issue amongst some in the bodybuilding community.

Throughout the UK, steroid use is legal, contrary to the disbelief of many, providing it is in a ‘medical form’. This is surrounded in some ambiguity as its is unclear as to whether or not anabolic steroids used for muscular gains are classed as in a ‘medical form’.

Research from Professor Davies has prompted for clarification on these laws.

With 100% certainty we can say that the sale and purchase of such substances is illegal.

The proviso for possession of steroids in the UK is that it must be for personal use and not intended to be sold.

If you were to buy steroids in the UK, then both the buyer and seller are committing an offence. As such, anabolic steroids can result in up to a two year prison sentence as it is punishable as a Class C drug.

In the USA and Australia, anabolic steroids are illegal. This means that unlike in the UK where only the sale and purchase is illegal, Americans and Australian inhabitations are eligible for a conviction for simple possession of the banned substance.
