Many people repeat the same old story about Ziegler and Dianabol, the first ever oral steroid, and how everything started in the mid '50s. So guys from the late '40s and early '50s were all natural, right? Well, let's see...
The first 17α-alkylated AAS was actually methyltestosterone and it was synthesized back in 1935 and approved in 1936.
But-but it wasn't widely available, it was available only to scientists and researchers, right? Just listen to your guy Eric Helms.

I'll leave a screenshot too.
So you could already buy methyltestosterone for 5$ (that's like 50 today) in 1948... But it was only hard work and lifting heavy.
