Yes. Quest Diagnostic charges $130 for an individual GC/MS screening for steroids. I'd imagine that bulk rates are even cheaper. That is not much at all.
I got your message about the pro-hormones. But, what about trenbolone acetate, and oxandrolone? There are no prohormone counterparts to those...
But you're probably right that they'll test only for recreational drug use...

I've got this covered. I will be taking some creatine earlier on. Unused creatine gets flushed out of ones' body as creatinine. I will also take a multivitamin that contains minerals as well, so that should they test for the presence of potasisum, calcium, and sodium, these will be present. These minerals are essential for keeping the urine temperature up above 96 degrees.doggmann said:

I can't promise you anything, but I can speak from experience.... I recently had to take a test to work for a firm. They do the cheapie drug test, the rec use one. They are going to check for coke, pot, et cetera. Believe me, if they tested stockbrokers for drugs on a regular basis, there would be a lot of empty desks in a lot of firms.
My body was a chemistry set when I took my test, I was in the middle of a cycle. I had no problem, but good luck anyway.

People with high security clearance can be tested for anything really. Its not very high on their priority though and I doubt that they want the trouble for lower level candidates in any firm or company.rangerx83 said:

As far as background checks, to be a stockbroker, you will have to file FORM U-4, which basically is your whole life. The SEC, who oversees the entire investment industry, wants to know where you went to school, where you lived, and every job you have ever held. The last page they ask you if you have been arrested, et cetera. Here is the trick....
DO NOT F'ING LIE. The SEC forwards your application to the justice department, who will know if you have ever gotten a speeding ticket. Anyway, after you file the form, the SEC will do a quick check to make sure you have no outstanding warrants, and are a citizen. Then, they are going to "open a window," which allows you to take the Series 7 Exam. If you pass the test, good luck, it ain't easy, then you have wait. You will have to wait for your background check to come back from the Justice Department to get you registered. THEN, every goddamn state in the union has to approve you. So if 49 states say, okay, but Texas, who is notorious for busting balls says no, you don't get registered with that state. So you can't do business with anyone in that state.
Again, do not F'ING LIE. They are gonna find out, so if you were ever pinched, you had better disclose it. Most firms won't retain you if it comes back that you have been arrested, even if you were found innocent OR the charges were dropped. A few years ago, nobody cared, the market was great, every firm was hiring anyone that could sell. Now, after 9/11 and the market going down the toilet, they are ultra selective.
BTW, even if you had your record cleared, the Justice Department will find out.
Isn't it funny, the industry that is most notorious for screwing people and severe drug use is the most selective with background checks? There are more screens to be a stockbroker than to be a doctor, which means people care more about their money than their health.
If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to PM me.

Two things...
One...this test is shit. 130$???? Good tests for gear (ioc) cost about ten times that. This will probably only test for opiates, cannabis, and amphetimines. Typical employment screening.
Two. Cheap tests usually have very lax security. What I mean is there usually isn't someone staring at your dick when you pee, and there may not even be someone in the bathroom with you. Right before (literally) the test have a buddy piss in a condom. Dump it. your clean.
I only wish my tests where this easy.
