[Estimated consumption of anabolic steroids among athletes in Denmark].
In an attempt to ascertain the types and quantities of anabolic steroids used by athletes in Denmark, a questionnaire was distributed at nine weight-training centres during the winter of 1986-1987. By comparing the results of the non-representative questionnaire study with the overall consumption of anabolic steroids in the country as a whole, the annual consumption was estimated to be the equivalent of at least 6,500 10-week courses of anabolic steroids at daily dosages eight times the recommended therapeutic level. In addition, the not inconsiderable illegal use of anabolic steroids seems to increase. The annual consumption of anabolic steroids by athletes in Denmark is estimated to be 2 million daily doses.
