The amazing benefits and wonder tales of anabolic steroids have been grappling the world and South Africa is no exception these days. The country has been reporting increasing numbers of steroid use in the recent times to suggest that distribution of steroids is uncontrollable even after imposition of strict norms.

A few years ago, South Africa was among only a few of the countries where steroids were not popular but not any more.

From SteroidTimes.Com:

So let me start by dispelling a popular myth or rumour that i often get asked about: STEROIDS ARE NOT LEGAL IN SOUTH AFRICA! That said, steroid are not a highly policed area in the drug market, any ‘busts’ or the like generally come from bodybuilders or dealers that are involved in manufacturing or importing other illicit drugs such as cocaine, exstacy, khat or crystal meth. The reality is that there are just not enough resources in South Africa to control such a small segment of the drug trade, they have bigger fish to fry.

We have a range of anabolic products from black market to legitimate available to the athlete or bodybuilder. Many pharmacies are quite happy to sell drugs such a steroids, growth hormone, thyroid hormones and insulin ‘under the counter’ as long as cash is paid, the better you know the pharmacist, the better price you get. Those products that are not available from a pharmacy can be obtained relatively easily from your entrepreneurial gym dealer who will generally have at his disposal a range of imported or local underground brands.

The increasing popularity of steroids in South Africa has once again reaffirmed that all measures for inhibiting the promotion of steroids have landed up in a mess, with no results.
