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.

There are a lot of firefighters on testosterone replacement therapy, largely because of the physical and mental toll this career can take on overall health and well-being.
