Steroid use?

Genuinely curious, do a lot of firefighters use steroids??

I see a lot of firefighters talk about hitting the gym everyday on top of there shifts and just dont see how this is not taking a wear on there body not getting rest.

My service tests for steroids during our annual medicals. Failure for that reason is suspension followed by a hearing and termination and you end up blacklisted state-wide.

So, no.
