It seems the DOD only tests for steroids if you're suspected of using. Bare in mind the substances that are tested for are random. Meaning every lab tests for different substances on a continuously revolving schedule.

Technical Procedures for the Military Personnel Drug Abuse Testing Program

ENCLOSURE 8

SPECIAL DRUG TESTING


1. SPECIAL DRUG TESTING

a. The wrongful use of anabolic steroids, controlled substances, other products such as
inhalants, cleaning agents, or other substances outside their intended purpose, and the wrongful
use or misuse of prescription drugs, and over-the-counter medications by members of the
military is an offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

b. Commanders must be aware of the potential harm that abuse and misuse of drugs and
other products have on the health, well being, safety, and morale of the individual and their unit.
Commanders must be attuned to incidents of drug and product misuse not covered by testing
conducted with the MPDATP. Specialty testing is available for many of these products and
requests for such testing require coordination with the Service Drug Testing Program Managers
or the Service FTDTL.


2. STEROID (ANABOLIC STEROIDS ) TESTING

a. Steroid testing is considered when substantial indications exist to suspect wrongful steroid
use pursuant to a probable cause, command directed or medical basis. Random testing or unit
sweeps for steroid misuse is not authorized.

b. Prior to the submission of specimen(s) for steroid testing, a written, signed request must
be submitted to the Service Drug Testing Program Manager or Service designee describing the
basis for submission. Failure to coordinate prior submissions may result in the specimen not
being tested or a delay in the submission of the specimen to the civilian steroid testing
laboratory.

c. Specimens only for steroid testing must contain a minimum of 60 milliliter of urine and
must be collected using the same CoC, observation and security procedures described in this
Instruction. Specimens only for steroid testing must not be placed in the same shipping container
as other specimens for routine drug testing being submitted to the Service FTDTL.

d. If routine drug testing is requested in addition to steroid testing on a single individual, two
separate specimen bottle submissions are required unless the FTDTL OP manual allows single
bottle submission with sufficient urine volume to complete both testing events. A minimum of
60 milliliter must be collected for steroid testing and a separate specimen containing a minimum
of 30 milliliter must be collected for routine drug testing. Separate CoC documentation must be
completed for each specimen container collected from the individual. The two specimen
containers and CoC documentation on the single individual may be submitted in the same
shipping container, but must not be comingled with other specimen bottles submitted for testing.
