British people are not allowed to purchase steroids per internet

British citizens are not allowed to order steroids at online drug stores. Importation of steroids into the UK is claimed to be illegal under a new amendment to the steroid law. Those that live in the UK and import steroids into the country are punished. But Britons may freely buy, possess and administer steroids.
According to the “personal custody”, those who arrived to London for the 2012 Olympics were allowed to import steroids for personal administration. It was not claimed to be illegal under British laws. Nevertheless, those that live inside the UK don’t have any right to purchase steroids at online pharmacies and import them from other countries to the UK.
Earlier British citizens were allowed to acquire steroids from outside the country. The amendment was presented by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) in order to protect health of steroid users. But could the amendment do it?
Numerous underground labs produce anabolic steroids inside the UK. They prosper because of the amendment. But it is important to consider that many underground labs manufacture counterfeit steroids. So, British citizens have to acquire steroids of low quality because it is banned to import steroids that are produced outside the country by safe pharmaceutical companies.
The government informed Needle-Syringe Program (NSP) workers that they would have to work more. It was claimed that the amendment would raise the number of steroid users.
Actually, the amendment is likely to influence on health of steroid users negatively. Steroid-using sportspersons and bodybuilders may get serious side results because they switch from quality steroids produced by trustworthy pharmaceutical companies to worse medicines produced by underground labs located in the UK.
