Hair folicle drug test

[Georgie]

Does anyone know if there is a hair folicle drug test designed to detect steroids? Can steroids be detected using a hair test? Or only in blood and urine? If so can you post sources of info, ie websites, journal references, etc.

yes there is, but it is relatively new, i think brought in by the olympic comittee at athens....give me a few minutes and will find it

hmmm can;t seem to put my fingers on it. Definitely sure I read about it recently. Think it's a relatively new technique, and if so, it wouldn't be widely used yet. If you do a google search on hair follicles + drug tests you get a lot returned. Check that out.
