The window of detection for steroids varies drastically.
At the low end of the spectrum the window is only 2-3
days. On the high end, a couple of months.
Steroids, similar to THC, are not water soluble. With
testosterone, because it occurs naturally you will almost
always detect the hormone. It is necessary to test for
testosterone because the body adjusts natural production
of the hormone when it is introduced to synthetic
steroids, i.e. the levels of testosterone are usually off
kilter.

An
anabolic steroid is a hormone that is related to testosterone.
The affect that anabolic steroids have on our bodies is that
they increase cell growth, or anabolism, of cellular tissue,
especially muscles. It is this property that has lead to their
popularity among athletes and bodybuilders.
There have been many documented cases of anabolic steroid use
and abuse throughout our history, and this trend continues
today. Research suggests that abuse among high school students
may be as high at 2.7%.
Many athletic associations have banned the use of anabolic
steroids to help level the playing field. Athletes who use
steroids can reach muscle mass and strength that is
unattainable in those who do not, which gives steroid users an
obvious benefit in sporting competitions.

The dangers of anabolic steroid abuse do not just extend to
unethical competition; many health risks are associated with
steroid abuse as well. Some of these risks include elevated
blood pressure, imbalance in cholesterol levels, and potential
heart complications such as cardiovascular disease and
thickening of the left ventricle. Long time use of steroids
has
also been shown to cause liver cancer.
Although anabolic steroids have positive uses when monitored
and used correctly in the medical field, the non-medical use
of steroids has many dire consequences. Testing for the use of
these agents can help to cut down on illegal abuse, helping to
not only level the playing field in sports across the board,
but to eliminate the chance for unhealthy side effects that
could scar the athlete for life.
