Try researching Pharmaceutical, Supplement Trade Journals and various high-end sports Medicine Journals. Most of your roids information will have to come from countries where roids are “legal”. There are internal documents at most pharmaceutical companies that reflect the “actual” usage of the product. From your shotgun request for data sources it sounds like you haven’t narrowed the topic of your paper. You might try preparing a questionarie, getting a sports medicine doctor mailing list and conducting an analysis on the results.
Best of Luck.
In last Sundays Arizona Republic sports section there was about a page article on supplement use in high school athletics, increase in athletes size over the last twenty years and the “dangers” of supplements like creatine. You can probably pull it up off of AZcentral.com
I found an article that you may find interesting. Probably won’t help you exceptionally with your research, but well worth a look. http://www.naturalstrength.com/ steroids/detail.asp? ArticleID=382
