What do you guys make of this? Any chemists on board?

I found this read in article. I was steroid tested last week at work. I have been using Bold and Test. Im sure it will come back positive. I was going to try to tell them Ive been using ATD, which can show up as positive for boldenone. However, if it does show up as a positive, is article saying that they can perform another test and determine whether or not it is actually Boldenone and not ATD? What do you guys think?

Something to think about:

Steroids. 1980 Dec;36(6):717-21.Links

Immunological interference of the synthetic aromatase inhibitor 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione (ATD) and its metabolite(s) in the radioimmunoassay for testosterone.

Donaldson MD, Forest MG.

Radioimmunoassay (RIA) for testosterone (T) in unchromatographed plasma extracts from ATD-treated rats gave spuriously high values for T. Cross-reaction and chromatographic studies subsequently showed that ATD and, to a much greater extent, its metabolite(s) were responsible for this overestimation. Celite column chromatography proved to be an effective way of separating T from ATD and its product(s) of metabolism.

^^^ i agree.. unless you use suspension then when you have advanced notice of the test you can stop taking it. detection time is only a few days.

in the NFL they get plenty of notice when they are gonna get tested, its part of their collective bargaining agreement with the NFLPA..

and how exactly are you going to cover up the fact your testosterone levels will be 3-4times higher then the average range most likely? ATD did that? lol

its not hard to test for steroids liek teserone, and its very hard to hide, impossible these days IMO

but is his airliner willing to spend extra money to further test him?
