Clostebol acetate
Clostebol Acetate is a synthetic anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) and a derivative of testosterone. It is a weak anabolic steroid which was used by athletes from the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). The pharmaceutical company Jenapharm, who had been supplying the government with the drug, discontinued the product in 1989. No other pharmaceutical company is known to produce Clostebol Acetate, leaving the actual availability and rate of use of the drug in the U.S. and the world unknown. It is suspected that the drug is smuggled in from other countries and poorly monitored pharmacies.
