China will criminalize steroid use next year to prove it is serious about fighting doping in sports ahead of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

China has promised to criminalize the use of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) sometime next year according government officials. The new anti-doping legislation will include prison terms for athletes convicted of using prohibited PEDs.

Gou Zhongwen, the director of the Chinese State General Administration of Sports, has proposed the new anti-doping legislation in order to prove to the world that China is serious about stopping steroid use and doping in sports.

“We are nearing the end of our study and research into a judicial interpretation on anti-doping,” Zhongwen said. “It will be promulgated in 2019, probably in early 2019. Those guilty of doping will face criminal punishments.”

China is criminalizing doping as a public relations move in advance of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
The timing of the announcement is no coincidence. China is set to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games at venues in Beijing and other towns in the Hebei province between February 4, 2022 and February 20, 2022.

“It is our will to show the world we are really serious about anti-doping,” Zhongwen said, “and are taking concrete measures on fight against doping.”

China has a history of enacting stricter anti-doping legislation prior to major international sporting events. Government officials did the same thing when the 2008 Summer Olympics came to China.

China announced a crackdown on Chinese steroid powder suppliers prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The crackdown was clearly only temporary. The large-scale manufacture and export of steroid powder quickly resumed after the Olympic Games ended.

China currently supplies up to 99% of the raw steroid powder for the underground laboratories (UGLs) that manufacture steroid products for the androgen black market. China is the undisputable go-to source for steroid powder. This is well-known by bodybuilders, dealers, anti-doping officials and government officials.

If China really wants to crack down on doping, it will do much more than throw a few athletes in prison.

Should this worry us or is this just for the sheep who think any kind of testing is a worthwhile endeavor?

Well, you could stock up a bit because initially they will put on a show. Prices will likely go up.

But long term I don't think they will dry up as a powder source. And even if they did, some place in Europe or wherever would fill the void.

Damn! I'm calculating how many vials of test is needed for 40 years right now lol

I need 209 vials ($8,360) of Test E 300, and 1ml/wk will last me 40 years. Not a big dose, but its to stay normal if AAS dries up!

lol,
Nice calculation.

I would relax on Chinas political agenda, I assume they say this because they plan on abusing AA's to beat everyone for the gold medals in 2022.

Let me guess what their quote will be on 2022 " We are the best and we did it naturally".

It already is illegal in China to export powders and HGH....Has been for many years.....This new law is about finished products, someone caught with a few vials of Test E will be in violation of the new law. Yet there are already laws on the books for possession already. So in reality this press release is just a publicity stunt.....Laws and penalties already exist.....

Just saw this slightly old thread. Consensus seems to be this is mostly a publicity stunt and will have little or only temporary effect here. As a Certified Paranoiac I also see similarities to 2008's ORD. LE here also likes publicity. What starts as a publicity stunt over there looks like an opportunity over here. If approached right, maybe American LE can get increased cooperation from Chinese LE, form a multi-jurisdictional Operation that will gain participation from other headline-hungry nations, and wind up as a win-win for all of them. All that remains is choosing a catchy name for this Op, something cute, like ORD and a few others we've seen.

It's just a thought, maybe I'm wrong.

As far as we know, China has always cracked down hard on the sale of steroid oils products. I just heard of news: the one Chinese famous raw sources who also made finished oils/tablets/capsules in China was with shut down issues.

At least there will always be Eastern Europe and the Middle East to get gear from.
