<p>by Chrystian Tejedor -- West Palm Beach -- The city's police force will test its own officers for steroid use after nine remain on desk duty and one could be charged criminally following a monthslong internal affairs investigation into their <a href="http://www.mesomorphosis.com">purchase of anabolic steroids</a>, Police Chief Delsa Bush said Monday.</p>
<p>The department also will inform new officers on the affects steroid use has on their bodies, Bush said.</p>
<p> Of the 14 officers investigated, one was cleared and 13 were found to have violated departmental and collective bargaining agreement policies, including: engaging in conduct unbecoming an officer, failing to notify a commander of their use of controlled substances and failing to establish a proper doctor-patient relationship.</p>
<p>"Anabolic steroids, if prescribed by a doctor and if the officer told a commander, would be perfectly legal," Mayor Lois Frankel said.</p>
