Anabolic Steroids

[goodfella]

If somebody is applying for a law enforcement agency, and in the application packet it states that if you
ever used a controlled substance you would be disqualifed .... would oral anabolic steroids be considered
as a controlled substance? Would each state differ?

Trying to look up the ILCS for IL and it's not showing as a controlled substance.

[crass cop]

some Ive seen ask specifically is youve used "steroids"

Are all steroids illegal? If your sate does not consider them illegal controlled subtances you may be ok, but disclose everything so it doesnt bite you in the end

what were you taking?

www.legalsteroids.com ...............are they dangerous? (will brink, Im looking in your direction for an answer on that)

Here is the easy way to look at this. Have you taken any drug that you were not given a prescription for by a doctor??? If the answer is yes, then you will be disqualified.

What was your purpose for taking the steroid??

Anabolic steroids are a controlled substance under federal law. It doesn't matter whether they are oral or injectable.

[DeputySC]

If you took steriods that you obtained illegally you need to come clean and let the department know. It may or may not disqualify you. Noone can say for sure. But if you get hired and they find out later you will more then likely get fired and your le career would be over period.

Read ateamer's reply. You're also misconstruing the term "controlled substance". Most prescription medications are "controlled substances". Taken as prescriptions they are legal. O T H, should your application ask if you've taken steroids, and the answer is "yes" it''s very likely that you'll be disqualified. Now I refer you to BigDog4907's reply. Read the replies carefully, and then you should pretty well know where you stand.

Yes, it's a controlled substance. No, it probably won't sink you for life (although it might with some departments). List it, tell the truth and see what happens.

I am guessing if you took anabolic steroids, you knew full well what you were doing and, what you were taking. Most people who use steroids know a whole lot of info before starting. So, you should know if you took a designer drug (not really correct term)/ prohormone that was a leagal simulation of a illeagal anabolic compound or, if you infact took a illegal compound or even a legal one with out a perscription.

I would also venture to guess that when you B.I. or poly examiner looks at you they will have a good idea as to your useage.

Integrity is essential in L.E. own up to what you did, no more, no less and see what happens.
