"Researchers say youngsters generally get illegal anabolic steroids on the black market from relatives or friends, from the local gym and over the Internet. At least one study indicates some parents and coaches supply steroids to teen athletes."

Most steroids are obtained over the black market or through friends and even trainers. I've known parents who have supplied them too, without realizing the negative effects. Few coaches supply them. Personally, I've never known a coach who has supplied them.
