"We can further reveal that police specifically requested that Pistorius’ blood be tested for drugs and steroids....

"In anticipation of a possible argument that he experienced “roid rage” – extremely aggressive behaviour associated with taking large doses of steroids – the police insisted that the athlete’s blood be tested for any foreign substances."

"In anticipation of a possible argument that he experienced “roid rage” – extremely aggressive behaviour associated with taking large doses of steroids – the police insisted that the athlete’s blood be tested for any foreign substances."

The police trying to preemptively counter a possible defence will go over the heads of most in the media and only encourage further "roid rage" hype, even if he tests negative. If he's positive, they'll be falling all over themselves to "report" that steroids made him a homicidal maniac.

Latest on the steroids found in Pistorius' home from http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/police-say-testosterone-needles-found-in-pistorius-bedroom/article8878531/:

Police say they found two boxes of testosterone and needles in the bedroom of Oscar Pistorius, the Olympian who has been charged with premeditated murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

Detective Hilton Botha made the revelation Wednesday in testimony at the bail hearing for the athlete...

Pistorius’ lawyer Barry Roux said it was an “herbal remedy” and not a banned substance. It was “not a steroid and it is not a banned substance.”

The case in a nutshell - was it premeditated murder or not:

In the 11-page court affidavit, the Paralympic champion said he did not have his prosthetic legs on and felt “extremely vulnerable” in the predawn hours of Feb. 14 when he thought that Steenkamp was an intruder in a toilet cubicle inside his bathroom. He said he was on his stumps when he fired into the door and then realized his tragic error when he backed away to his “pitch dark” bedroom and realized the model and law graduate, whom he had been dating for a few months, was not in bed.

The state alleges the shooting was premeditated and that Pistorius took time to put on his prosthetic legs and walk seven metres to the toilet before opening fire.

Forensic reports may be able to establish the truth by studying the angle and height of the bullet holes in the toilet door.

South African Police Service apparently not so competent with steroid evidence in embarrassing revelation that boxes of "testosterone" may not have really been testosterone. It could have been a homeopathic preparation called testocompositum or testis compositum:
