PE2024/H: Create a national, public information programme to raise awareness of the impacts of steroids, selective androgen receptor modulators, and other performance enhancing drugs Petitioner written submission, 10 April 2025 Summary of Key Points: • An estimated 560 people will die each year from IPED use • That number is likely to increase • The Scottish Government’s current policy will result in no further action • The Scottish Government’s commitment to support police to tackle criminality does not apply to IPEDs as they are legal to use. • Likewise, the commitment to support local services would be limited to the three health boards that currently provide services for IPED users.
