Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990

The Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–647, 104 Stat. 4851, enacted November 29, 1990) is a United States federal law that placed anabolic steroids under Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The legislation also amended the Controlled Substances Act by defining anabolic steroids as "any drug or hormonal substance, chemically and pharmacologically related to testosterone (other than estrogens, progestins, and corticosteroids) that promotes muscle growth", regulated human growth hormone, and established criminal penalties for their non-medical use and distribution of the substances. The Act was passed as Title XIX of the larger Crime Control Act of 1990.
