I disagree with your opinion that they are de facto legal. PRIDE has just been linked to the Yakuza and if the Japanese government wanted to put pressure on PRIDE they could start investigating all the fighters for steroid use, assuming that they are illegal in Japan.
Can someone give us a definite answer on whether they are legal in Japan? I know a lot of former Soviet Republics and possibly even Russia allow steroid use.
