Can i take steroids and be a pilot ?

Here is one way you can.. while you must get a subscription in the US. Steroids are legal in a few other countries. Two countries were steroids can be purchase without prescription are in Mexico, and The UK. So theoretically then.....If you are a pilot, and you had a route to fly one of those countries like every day than the whole legal thing would be no problem.....

Nevermind that you're responding to a really old thread... It doesn't matter if he's taking a substance that is illegal in the country he's in or not. If your employer says you can't drink Pepsi and came up with a way to test for Pepsi in your system, if you want to work there, you can't drink Pepsi (DESPITE IT BEING LEGAL TO BUY/DRINK). But since the pilot already said that airlines don't test for gear, this is pointless to debate.

Anyone who acts as pilot in command of an aircraft is bound by the rules of the FAA regardless if they own their aircraft or airline
