Therefore a super hero should have just as big of muscle as Lebron James or any other star athlete.…

They were legal until 1990 when they joined other banned substances such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines as being illegal.

Because they are illegal without a prescription in almost every country in the world they are only available to the recreational user on the "black market". The black market consists of all steroidal substances, counterfeits, and other illegal drugs that are purchased from a source other than directly from a pharmacy or a physician.
