Thread: Does steroids show up in a British Army drugs test?

Does the Army not have a web page that you can access the info ???

No they don't mate, I'm in the Navy and have been tested on-cycle countless times, and never known anyone else get thrown out via CDT either, only people I HEARD got thrown out for AAS are those who left their gear out without securing their lockers properly!

Nope. they will be testing for reccy drugs.

Steroid tests would have to be carried out specifically and can be costly as well

well i have heard that we could now get tested for steroids working on the highways W$NK imo !!!

no as far as i know they dont test for it cause was spking to someone whos in the forces and they said the lad who he was training with on his tour was massive but natty and the co`s were saying about him being on gear . which was ****ing the lad off cause he wasnt.

so im guessing if they did test for that sort of thing they would have just pulled him if for a test

obv dont take this as 100 % that u will be ok just putting a point across

ps if u do enquire anywere just remember not to give any details that could bite u in the ass haha

Cheers Lads, does anyone know if your first medical is any different? Im only at the application stage?

Does Chlomid bring your test levels down?

Well when I did my first pre-joining medical I was still smoking weed and taking pills, so I doubt it, when we first arrived we were informed that we would ALL be drug tested at 6 weeks in, and we were, lost a few guys as well!!

But what you need to know and accept is they could test everyone for AAS at any time, so you better be prepared the take the dismissal on the chin if you get caught! The government are cutting the forces to the bone, so if they wanted to reduce numbers further, they could test for AAS and maybe lose another few hundred, saves paying them out 20-80K each for redundancy!

Clomid is used post-cycle to increase natty test levels mate.

thanks mate im prob best off gettin in first and thru training first

Yeah clomid helps your HPTA axis get back to normal quicker! (balls come back from hibernation)

Should be aright though mate, loads of ppl on gear in the forces!

Damn right as well will make them better soldiers in my opinion

I got tested last month on cycle and eph aswell passed

Not this again, why don't you download the the PDF from the MOD, all this info is widely available on the the net due to the FOI act.

Ephedrine will be detected if there is a test for amphetamines or ecstacy (they have the same breakdown products in urine). Just say you have flu, and are using a decongestant containing pseudoephedrine (which has the same metabolites) - Sudafed or Actifed.

I'm a chemist, and I was a scientist in the MOD for 7 years, me and my colleagues were always scared of drug tests and did a lot of research into the subject (probably more than we did for our work!)
