When they were being used by wrestlers of the Soviet Union (and not Russia) during the 1952 Olympic games in Helsinki, Finland. The correct answer to your question is therefore C - they were used by Russian wrestlers. The success of their wrestlers at those Olympic games was mostly attributable to their use of testosterone, a substance that would later become banned from Olympic events and extremely villified.
