Dealing in gym drugs?

A friend of mine was stopped and searched by the police. They found a bag of 96 tablets and has subsequently been charged with drug dealing and released on bail while they test the tablets.
He bought them in the gym (£10 for 100) and thinks they are some sort of protein but he isn't sure exactly what the medical name for them is. A lot of the guys in his gym take them to help them work out. My friend thought this was completely legal and was given no reason to think otherwise (I think he was a little naive but bear in mind he has only been in the UK for a few years).
We're now really scared that they are going to turn out to be steroids or something illegal (although the police said whatever it was, it would be a class C) and he might go to prison for dealing (although they were all for his own use).
Does anyone have any advice or know what they might have been?
Thanks.

Firstly, how could the police be able to tell if they are a class C drug when they don't even know what they contain! They couldn't know.
What did he buy the pills for if he doesn't even know what they contain himself. Sounds pretty silly to me.
Honestly nobody here knows for sure what the pills are and what they contain.
But I think the best thing to do is be completely honest... dont try and blag your way out of it...
When he turns up in court (Assuming it goes to that) dress smart, be poliet, as I say, tell the 100% truth and hope for the best...
Sorry I cant be more help... im sure there are others on here that will know more than me...
Yeah, it was silly, I guess he knows that now, and I told him so. A lot of his friends were taking them too.
Its impossible to say... it all depends on what the court decide when they hear his side of the story...
Being done for Dealing is alot harsher than being done for possession...
But if they belive that he didnt know about it, then its possible he could get off with a warning... this all depends on if they are actually an illegal substance or not though...
You will have to wait for the results!
the first thing i would have done was go mad at how absurd it was, then proceed to direct to police to the gym ...
i don't see the problem ? looks like the scum are just up to their usual scare tactics, they probably thought he was trying to bullshit his way out of a situation he wasnt even in
Your friend could call Release, who provide legal advice and would be able to tell him exactly what his rights are. I would definetely recommend it.
He's forign not been in the UK long so theres not much chance of him getting more than a caution.
Oh and tell him theres no point taking just the pills they will make your muscels fill with water but no long tearm benefits,if he realy wants to take them you have to use 2 kinds in combination injecting one.
(not that Id recomend ect ect just giving advice etc)
There not a substitute for hours of hard work and the right diet.
My mates just got 2yrs for threatening someone with a knife because a group of pissheads started on him n he pulled it out in protection but then they dosey bugger wouldn't put it down when coppers came n got piled to the floor by 5 of them haha. He's at crown court and everything...not looking good at all. He's just got out on bail and has to be in at 7pm.
Possible but unlikely Iv seen proteen bars and proteen powder for shakes but never proteen pills, Im not saying they dont exsist but Ithink its unlikely.
Has anyone else come across proteen pills ?
and if they are steroids then its as illegal (or less) than Marijuana so he would probably just get a caution,
Nuff sed.
