Semi serious question (STAT)

[Fishbone Jones]

Honestly,
I don‘t know why you guys are still discussing this. Bottom line is you shouldn‘t want or use them unless prescibed by a physician (if he even would). In the military, that‘s the bottom line, and this is a military forum. There are lot‘s of impessionable young minds that visit here and someone could get in serious trouble, legal or otherwise, if they misconstrue what your saying (which is not a stretch with some here). We don‘t need "Well, I got it from the CdnArmy site" as an excuse. If you guys want to keep comparing schlongs, do it in private. Start PM‘ing each other. We don‘t want to watch.

STAT

Recceguy is correct.

I agree. One last time I want to point out that I dont agree with steroids AND its not worth your career.

To echo the most recent statements made here its a quick way to ruin your career to be tagged as a user of ANY illegal drug, which steroids fall under.

By the way there are a number of circumstances where even prescribed steroids can be considered illegal.

Prescribed steroids illegal? Please elaborate. I assume you mean when a MO has not prescribed them, or when they are prescribed to cover up a medical condition which would disqualify you from CF membership....but Illegal? How so?

 

[brneil]

Unfortunately there have been numerous occasions in both Canada and the US where patient‘s have convinced their doctors to prescribe them steriods under the understanding that they were for treatment of some mystery ailment. The reality is that if you lie to your doctor or somehow get your doctor to prescribe you steriods without proper reason you are commiting an illegal act.

Merely having a prescription for steriods does not make them legal you must also have an ailment requiring their use and in fact after treatment you are obligated to destroy any remaining product. Simple possession of steriods does constitute a criminal offence for certain substances.

Can‘t you guys take a hint!

Hey - as long as they‘re wasting their steroid-enhanced energy and bad breath here, they‘re not cluttering up other threads ...

My understanding of the CS ACT makes the purchasing and providing for sale steroids illegal while position of an amount for personal use does not...the law is written that way as to not incriminate people who use it for medicinal purposes....I could be wrong thats what Ive always been taught

 

[brneil]

My last post on the subject I‘ll try to be as clear as possible.

Steroids are ONLY legal with a doctors prescription for the legitimate treatment of a REAL medical condition. Otherwise even simple possession can be considered illegal and certainly a bar to entry into the CF.

To reply to the original post, I wouldn‘t worry because a simple urine test does not check for steroids, especially pro-hormones (like andro). To back up WetGrunt...the test is very expensive to administer, but you were a little bit off. It costs around 300 dollars American to do a steroid test. And don‘t go saying "well the CF will pay that blah blah" because he was reffering to the normal urine test that everyone does when joining. They will not be checking every Joe joining the CF for the juice, especially for over 300 a pop.
