1. It was completely banned in Italy until 1980 where they then allowed it... Now there is a general ban on it after Europe lobbied for it...
2. Anabolic steroids and cortisone are illegal in all European Union. Antibiotics can be used for the health of livestock but there are limit about residue that can be still present in the meat ready to sell.
