Job/career testing

[Howler92]

Just out of curiosity, is there anyone out there in a profession/career that specifically tests for aas? I understand there are lots of jobs that test for recreational drugs but I understand it is an entirely different testing produces for aas.

Err, not really from the side of the user.

About only coaches and paid/sponsored sportsmen.

There are some rumors that the military might test for steroids, but I never heard from that actually happening in real life.

The Military only tests for steriods if command directed. Commander has to have a valid reason for ordering a steriod test on an individual soldier. In 20 years I’ve seen one guy busted for it.

assuming it's against military contract then? I'm In Canada and was wondering how that works. Aas are legal to use for personal amounts here. Was wondering specially how it effected soldiers, police officers, firemen and so on.

The contract doesn't specify what is/isn't legal for US forces. The Uniform Code of Military Justice does.

Since virtually any order prohibiting a substance is going to be well within the UCMJ, any officer can prohibit almost any substance or activity from use/participation by any service member under their command and violations (if proven) will be prosecutable under the appropriate UCMJ article.

Was that because they found gear in his locker, and he still denied it?
Being really jacked doesn't trigger any red flags by itself, does it?

Fire doesn’t. Too damn expensive. They don’t care unless it’s a situation that calls for it. But I’ve only heard of one time. OKC Fire had a women’s combat challenge team. They were pretty badass too. But 4 of 5 got busted for gear usage after a challenge. I guess they embarrassed some other FD and they threw a fit. One of them was built like Seth Feroce lol. But the other ones were really leaned out. They got kicked off the team. Suspended for the drug usage policy. I don’t think they got fired. But it was hush hush too.

Being Jacked doesn’t warrant it unless there is some discipline issues. I’ve been in units that damn near everyone was on something. The guy that got busted had rumors of dealing(he actually was) Commander couldn’t ignore it. Only punishment was reduction of rank and was sent to a different unit.
