Regulation & market
Grey market
Also known as: gray market
The trade in products sold outside the regulated pharmaceutical channel, typically under a research-use-only label.
In plain terms
Grey-market goods are not necessarily counterfeit. They are unregulated: no regulator reviewed the product, inspected the plant, or verified the label. Quality in this channel is a function of the individual seller’s choices and nothing else.

Anti-doping panels detect peptide hormones and secretagogues; standard workplace panels generally do not screen for them. Legality, detectability, and prohibition are three separate questions.
