History of anabolic steroids
To understand anabolic steroids, it is important to trace their history and development from their origins to the present day.
The origins of anabolics
Increase in testosterone levels
Later, in 1929, a procedure to recover and produce a potent concentrate from bull testicles was attempted, and it was in 1935 that a purer form of this extract was created. A year later, a scientist named Ruzicka synthesized testosterone from cholesterol, followed by two other scientists, Butenandt and Hanisch. Testosterone is of course the first anabolic steroid ever created and remains the foundation for all other derivatives that are used in medicine today. Testosterone was then used in 1936 in another experiment that demonstrated that the nitrogen excretion of a neutered dog could be increased by giving the dog extra testosterone and even increase its weight. A rumor that has never been proven is that the Nazis gave their soldiers anabolic steroids. Later on, other experiments were conducted and proved that testosterone was a very powerful anabolic in humans. Later, between the years 1948 and 1954, the pharmaceutical companies Searle and Ciba started to synthesize more than a thousand derivatives and analogues of testosterone.
The history of steroids in athletics begins

Steroids at the Olympic Games
Just before the ban on steroids at the Olympic Games, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) began a program to synthesize new anabolic steroids for their athletes in several sports categories. The result of this research remains to this day the most extensive collection of information on steroid use in athletes. Despite the small size of their country, they managed to dominate the various sports, competing with the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1972, the IOC launched a large-scale drug testing program. In 1982, the International Olympic Council developed a way to detect excessive testosterone levels in athletes: the Epitestosterone Test. Testosterone and epitestosterone levels are then evaluated and compared. If the testosterone level is 6 times higher than the epitestosterone level, it can be concluded that a certain form of testosterone has been used by the athlete. This a priori unnatural level highlights that the subject is doped. But the IOC was already late, as usual: the GDR had already put into practice on their athletes a new form of testosterone that was rapidly dispersed in the body. The athletes passed the IOC test three days after their last injection. They then developed a protocol to allow their athletes to continue using steroids. Even stronger, the German company Jenapharm, which had already been supplying steroids to the athletes, even developed a product (epitestosterone) to be administered to the athletes, allowing them to bring the testosterone ratio back to normal while still using steroids. Their doping methods were so advanced that they went undetected for many years until 1989, when the information was leaked to the Western press: a systematic program of anabolic steroid administration and government-sponsored cover-up. It was this scandal that helped create the bad reputation that anabolic steroids still have today. Ironically, it was also in the 1990s that anabolic steroids began to be used by doctors to improve the longevity of AIDS and cancer patients.Steroids in the United States
An identical scenario was unfolding in the United States. Prior to 1988, steroids were prescribed only by prescription as drugs, following the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) classification. However, they were not controlled. In 1988, the passage of the Anti-Drug Act placed steroids in a completely different prescription category, with very serious legal penalties for illegal sale or possession. Possession and distribution of steroids was considered a crime. Then the U.S. Congress added steroids to “Schedule III” of the law, placing these anabolic products on the same level as amphetamines, methamphetamines, opium and morphine, with identical penalties for buying or selling. This bill was passed without the support of the American Medical Association, the FDA, the DEA, or the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Steroids were again pushed into the news with the introduction of prohormones, developed and marketed by Patrick Arnold. This is when the steroid story enters baseball in the USA.Steroids and American baseball
