Winstro Details
One of the most well-known anabolic steroids, developed by Winthrop Laboratories in the late 1950s. Commonly recognized by its brand name Winstrol, which is derived from Stanozolol. Gained global recognition due to athletic doping scandals, most notably the 1988 Ben Johnson case. Played a major role in the U.S. government’s war on steroids and classification of anabolic steroids as Schedule III controlled substances.
