Steroids stress
Question
The company I work for do random drugs test. I don't take any recreational drugs but am on steroids for body building - would these show up on the test?
Answer
Anabolic steroids are Class C drugs that do show up in drugs tests. If you have obtained them legally, through a pharmacist with a doctor's prescription, then you can explain this to your employer. Possession without prescription isn't illegal but supplying steroids (even for free) carries penalties including imprisonment.
While steroids do help to build the body's tissues, there are serious health risks associated with their use, including heart and liver problems. Most anabolic steroids are banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the body that regulates the use of drugs in sport.
