"Athletes using steroids is nothing new. We’ve seen it with admissions of steroid use by players such as Alex Rodriguez.
Today’s Channel 6 wanted to see how easy it would be for an “ordinary person” to find these substances if they were looking for an edge. We didn’t have to look far. It turned out everything we needed was right at our fingertips on the internet.
Today’s Channel 6 found a website that claims a person can “Buy Legal Steroids Now.” We will not provide the specific website, because we do not want people to use it to obtain these substances, but the company name is S A Labs International. A few clicks of the mouse led to a website not just claiming you can “Buy Legal Steroids Now,” but also offering a manual on how to properly take them, possible side effects and how long the substances will stay in a person’s system. The manual is 87 pages long, but nowhere in it will a person find any information saying the products have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. In fact, the FDA talked to Today’s Channel 6 and says they have no record of the company, which means the company never sent them any substance for testing. We even found another website that would show people how to properly inject steroids.
We wanted to know how a website could get away with marketing steroids as legal. Idaho State University Director of Pharmacy Dr. Robin Dodson says these website try to get around the FDA by changing some of the compounds in their products and renaming them, which can be even more dangerous.
“In these products, you don’t know what you’re getting,” Dr. Dodson said. “The body then takes these chemicals, slightly altered compounds, and converts it into a steroid.”
This website claims its products work so well, they’re banned by the IOC, the NCAA, among other organizations.
Today’s Channel 6 left messages for S A Labs International for this story, but they did not respond."
The site they are talking about appears to be GetFreakyBig who sell legal supplements using misspelt steroid names.
