steroids legal in UK?

Anabolic steroids are Prescription Only drugs under the Medicines Act. They can only be sold by a pharmacist on the presentation of a doctor's prescription. Anabolic steroids are also class C drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act. It is not an offence to possess anabolic steroids for personal use, unless they are counterfeit. It is an offence to supply them. Therefore police tend to arrest for steroid possession only if they can prove the drugs are counterfeit (and therefore not prescribed by a doctor). A small number of arrests and convictions are made on this basis each year.
If a patient obtains a drug from abroad then it falls under the importing regulations.
The Medicines Control Agency has stated that up to 3 months supply can be brought into the country as long as it is for individual use.
For medicines obtained abroad, the key issue is the legal status of the medicine in the country of purchase. If it is available OTC in that country then up to 3 months supply could be brought into the UK(as long as it is not also classified as a CD within the UK) and the person could be in possession of, and use the product without
breaking any regulations.
However although possession and use of a POM for personal use does not constitute a criminal offence, supply of such products is an offence and could be easily done. For example, somebody purchasing a
medicine abroad (UK classified POM) and bringing it into the country for someone else would also be committing an offence.
These are the laws as understood at present but really havent been tested in court to see how they are implemented.
Wrongun!

No, they arent legal.
You can order for personal use, but you must be registered to legally do so.

Yes, everything is okay now. Must have been one of those days so to speak when I called in first!!
I also use muscletalk and log in their as riverrock too. Anyhow, one Bro made a particularly interesting point. He said that all UK Steroid users should order their pins off the internet. Why, you may ask?
Well, if everyone gets their pins off the needle exchange, then the statistics will point at an alarmingly high number of AAS users in the UK, this may then lead to a review of the existing legislation, and may result in an American style crackdown on AAS use. A very valid point. I'm going to post this on the AAS forum now in fact.
