By the end of the 1980s Docs stopped writing scrips and pharmacies stopped honoring them. The Controlled Substances Act of 1990 was all over the news. They were including those dreaded Anabolic Steroids.
Up until then you simply purchased your gear at your local Walgreens and it came right from the major drug houses. Suddenly bathtub gear hit the gyms. Quality and dosage became questionable. For several years my WO partner went to Tijuana with his little niece. He bought legit gear, ducktaped it to his body and in sweats walked back into the USA with his niece all smiles and an arm full of dolls.
So the old schoolers had boo coo quality gear available. What was used around the Mecca was on the average 200-500 Test Cyp, 200 Deca, some anavar and Squibb Equipoise weekly. Few denied usage unless being interviewed by the BB journals. A few dabbled in Adrol and suffered from it. Acne, bloody noses and headaches for the most part.
