    Steroid urine test.

    This maybe a dumb question but i took deca a year and one month ago. I've understood that it can stay in your system for 17 months. Well I have to take a urine test tomorrow for work will it show up on my urine test? Do anabolics show up on urine tests?

    Usually no. They test for recreational drugs most of the time as it cost more to test for steroids . Whats your job?

    nandrolone decanoate will be detectable for around 18 months, So if they are testing for steroids then yeah.

    From what ive read yes it can be detected. But im 99% sure you will not get tested for that in your line of work.

    You'll fail a urine test (for AAS) long after a blood test. AAS metabolites don't stay in your blood for that long.
    But they aren't testing you for AAS, just rec drugs, so you're fine either way.

    Yeah, it is extremely unlikely that they would test for anything other than rec drugs. Never heard of that being done for a 'regular' job before. Steroids mostly tested in sports I believe.

    Man, there is a difference between drug testes - where they are looking for recreational drugs- and the ones where they are looking for steroids .
    Basically, you should pass the test with no problems.

    Firefighters will be tested for steroids if suspicion is raised its a public service, and the last thing they want is something going wrong and the media turning around saying how a firefighter ****ed up due to steroids and how the government should be testing because they think steroids are bad and cause people to go crazy.

    I have never heard of one getting tested....not saying it has not happened....but as i said above....i know many who do use. Same thing goes for several of my friends who have various government positions including those in politics.

    FDNY started "random" AAS testing within the last couple years I believe. Some fire depts in Arizona as well. It just depends on the department and state.

    Typically no...unless your a professional athlete or high profile/ranking position.
    When in doubt use synthetic urine.

    Main reason being it is a very pricey test. Not sure about other federal agencies and their testing policies tho.
