Ilegality is kind of a weird question.

Is it illegal to drive a car...yes....through someone's front door it is....over little grannies....yes.....with licence, in a safe and appropriate manner...no

Drugs are the same. Certain drugs though fall into a category that makes any use of them illegal. This is prescribed through international treaties, legally giving addicts heroin so they don't drive cars over little old grannies and steal their pension cheques is illegal, because of these international treaties.

Steroids fall into another category. They are controlled substances, which means they can be obtained only through certain regulated ways. For example, antibiotics also fall into this category.

Various steroids are prescribed for all sorts of reasons. SARS, for example, was treated using steroids (though not successfully, from what i read).
