How Do Drug Dealers Get Dianobol and All These Other Anabolic Steroids?
Question by Marina: How do drug dealers get dianobol and all these other anabolic steroids?
I am a female and really have no use for anabolic steroids, but I have always wondered. I work in a pharmacy and we usually stock Testosterone cypoinate in injectable form and Androgel, and Axiron which is testosterone in a gel. This is just synthetic testosterone made to replace the hormone that is usually made naturally in a man. My husband is into lifting weights and fitness all natural (no steroids) but he keeps hearing people buying Dianobol and Trenbolone ie Tren from some people in the bodybuilding business. In my 10 years of being a pharmacy technician I have never come across a doctor writing a prescription for Dianobol or Tren so this begs the question. Where are these people getting the stuff. I know drug dealers either manufacture their own stuff like (methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, heroin.) Others doctor shop for stuff like Vicodin, Adderall, Oxycontin and sell them. Doctor shopping being the illegal act of going to different doctors, faking a condition and acquiring an prescription. Do dealers actually make their own steroids and sell them, or is there actually doctors who will prescribe these steroids and then sell them on the side. I am just curious, looking from answers from people in law enforcement perhaps DEA, or bodybuilders or dealers. Please no generic preachy answers like “Steroids are bad mkay”. I obviously know the dangers of drug abuse and witness them myself remember I work in a pharmacy, and no my husband is not looking for steroids he just asked me thinking I might know but I honestly don’t. Thanks for reading, and appreciate any real answers.

My guess would be that there are underground labs that manufacture high quality imitations and then sell it in large quantities to a few distributors who then sell it to smaller scale distributors who then sell it to small scale local dealers so by the time it gets to the local dealer they don’t care where it came from as long as it looks right (proper pill stamps, size, shape, color) and that it works.
Just a guess though I don’t personally know any steroid dealers let alone their upline.

A lot of these drugs are legal or at least less restricted in other countries. There have always been criminal organizations smuggling them through various means, and these days one can just order these things online, though you risk having them seized and getting prosecuted. A lot of what is out there is also counterfeit – no active ingredient or some other drug than what is on the label etc. It’s scary in the case of injectable drugs because they may not have even been made in sanitary conditions. There are also a lot of supplement scams, which means they use legal (and not very potent) ingredients, then give it a name very similar to the original steroid drug. I’m not against steroid use per se, but with most of this stuff, you’re dealing in black/gray market and gambling with your health and your money. As a pharm tech myself, I also know that there are still one or two formulations still on the legitimate market here. They still use some form of nandrolone and maybe anavar for AIDS wasting etc. Honestly, the way to do it these days if you’re smart, and getting older, is to use a real doctor to get “testosterone replacement”. Done right, it’s safe, legal, and works pretty well. The object is not to make you a superhuman freak, but to get you back to what you were in your mid or late 20s (which many of us remember as superhuman, in hindsight!)
