steriod testing?

[rusbus01]

my boy works for the nypd can u test for anabolic steriods with the hair test do they even look for anabolic steriods

From everything I have read urine is the normal method.

AAS tests are very expensive - if they are taking hair most likely they are just looking for the usual narcotics etc.

Here is a government report:

You can test for steroids in hair.

"After extraction with ethyl acetate and silylation, the drugs were identified by GC-MS in the electron impact mode. Hair from both males were positive for nandrolone (196 and 260 pg/mg), testosterone (46 and 71 pg/mg) and stanozolol (135 and 156 pg/mg), clearly indicating steroids abuse."
