Even though the personal possession of anabolic steroids for self-administration is perfectly legal in the United Kingdom, customs will reportedly tip off anti-doping officials if any Olympic athletes have any suspect medications in their personal custody when they arrive for the 2012 London Olympics:

“It is not a criminal offence for personal consumption for athletes in this country, but they will be dealt with under anti-doping law if they get caught with the drugs in their system,” the spokesman said.
UKAD also confirmed that it would expect border control officers to tip them off so that targeted drugs testing could be carried out.
“UK Anti-Doping has a two-way exchange of information with the border agency to ensure that information about athletes and support personnel can be used to identify trends and patterns and build up anti-doping rule violations,” UKAD head of intelligence Gabriella Re said.
