Anabolic steroids were required to be prescribed and dispensed by licensed physicians
well than.. I think you just answered your own question.. I'm sure the teams in the 70's had NO problem getting one of the teams Physicians to prescribe it for them. In that case it would be legal.

I suggest you read this: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/0508
and then this: http://eddriscoll.com/archives/0068
and this:
Yet we have firm evidence that some Steelers from the Super Bowl years used steroids. Lineman Jim Clack, who was on the Steelers' first two Super Bowl champions, admits to steroid use on page 180 of Roy Blount's "About Three Bricks Shy of a Load." Steve Courson, who was on the last two championship teams, wrote an entire book about his experiences with steroids. New Orleans Saints coach Jim Haslett recently said the Steelers started the trend. Dan Rooney angrily denied the charge but surely Clack and Courson weren't the only two Steelers to try steroids. Funny thing, though, no one is calling for the jeweler to come in and engrave asterisks on any of the Super Bowl trophies.
funny thing is, these are mostly PA reporters... weird huh?
BTW, the last one was from this link: http://www.pghsports.com/2005-Issue
The law states (and has stated) that you had to have a VALID medical reason, not just a perscription. This is how a bunch of other NFL'ers have gotten caught recently - having perscriptions done by phone, with no Doctor visit, or valid mnedical reasoning behind taking the drugs.
See: Rodney Harrison... you know the one the haters like to call roidney... (even though he took HGH) .. funny thing is a ton of those people doing it were Steeler fans.. kind of hypocritical no?
