Prednesone and other steroids like that are not against the law with a script for Lupus Asthma and other diseases like that. What Bonds and Sosa were taking are a far cry from the anti inflammitory steriods. It is still illegal even with a doctors script unless both had some rare condition that would warrant the use of these drugs. Never heard of doctors getting in trouble for writing scripts for drugs that there patients didn't nned. hell, doctors will can get arrested for writing to many scripts for Vicodin, which is why pharmacies require the doctors narcotic number to keep tabs on how many scripts he is writing of opium based drugs.
