A prohormone is simply one that requires an enzymic or other chemical interaction before becoming an active hormone. A popular one is 1-AD which requires enzymic alteration to become the now well-known AAS 1-Testosterone. Whereas Steroids are homones administered directly into the body and do not need any enzymic activity to become active.

Prosteroids are an active hormone that may or may not be subject to enzymic alterations. Really this means is a real steroid that has not as of yet been classified as a controlled substance. Like 1-Testosterone, Testosterone-OH and Nandrolone-OH.

The legality is complicated as some have been banned, some have been forced to cease production, but not really illegal.

Its a similar situaton with steroids, its legal to own and use a small amount for "personal use" but not to supply it.

As with the sports, its only if their governing body has banned the substance.
