For the competitive athlete steroid testing is no laughing matter; if you are caught you can be suspended from your particular sport or worse, banned permanently. Even so, many athletes are willing to take the risk and by many we actually mean countless. There’s a good reason athletes choose to use steroids despite impending steroid testing; the reason, steroids work, they work well and they work better than anything else you can use or do. If that’s the case and we assure you it is, then what’s the point, why ban their use if so many athletes use them and so many are going to? Granted, we could strengthen the test and we have many times over but time and time again as history has shown, athletes have made a fool out of every form of steroid testing ever brought forth.
Why Steroid Testing is Inefficient:
For years athletes have found ways around the anabolic steroid drug testing they are given. While the governing bodies of various sports tighten their reigns, year after year anabolic prowess stays a step ahead of the game. From the former German Olympic Teams who used to administer their athletes epitestosterone to sway testing all the way to the most recent scandal, the scandal of the ages, BALCO, athletes have found a way. While in some sports the tightening of the reigns has been more efficient than others it is still largely ineffective. As the reigns tighten athletes use various other performance enhancing drugs (PED’s) to keep them safe from steroid testing. PED’s such as Human Growth Hormone and IGF-1 are commonly used, the common hormone insulin is used as a PED in many cases too; all undetectable to steroid testing.
Pass Steroid Testing While Using Steroids:
While there are many things you can do to pass steroid testing with flying colors, aside from actually not using them, if you adhere to these sound principles you can use till your heart’s content. The first key and this should apply to non-tested individuals as well; use responsibly, do not abuse. If you’re a tested athlete and you use 1,500mg of test per week stacked with a host of other anabolic steroids you’re going to get caught. Use reasonably, if you’re tested keep the doses low and the cycles within reason. Further, educate yourself on the steroids you’re taking; choose fast-acting short ester gear. Further, learn how to properly cleanse your body; educate yourself on what can be taken as a masking agent. Moreover, make use of peptide hormones such as growth hormone; largely undetectable and most importantly, keep your mouth shut about what you do.
The Future of Steroid Testing:
No one knows what the future will hold but as long as steroids carry with them the inappropriate label they do, steroid testing will inevitably improve; and as long as there are competitive athletes so will the drugs. It’s a never ending circle that’s been created; athletes use steroids, they do so because they are rewarded for the results they produce; at the same time, those who reward punish the use of steroids if one is caught, yet if he isn’t his reward will be great. Although it’s a circle with no end in sight you can bet your life anabolic steroid use isn’t going anywhere, all the steroid testing in the world won’t make a difference.
