Foreign websites should be stopped from selling anabolic steroids to customers based in the UK, the government's drug advisors have said.

The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) said it is increasingly concerned about the number of young men using the muscle building drug.

"At the moment it is much too easily available," said Professor Les Iversen, who chairs the council.

"We are recommending there should be a restriction on importation."

I can't get over this:

Professor Iversen said there are no plans to recommend a change in its legal status as doing so would risk criminalising thousands of young people unnecessarily.

Also:

As a class C substance they are illegal to sell or deal unless they are prescribed by a doctor for medical reasons.

But it is not against the law to buy the drug as long as it is for personal use.

Right… so it's legal to buy Ketamine as long as it's for personal use? Quick, get India on the line…!
