In a drug test, steroids are classified as performance-enhancing drugs, specifically anabolic steroids, which are synthetic derivatives of testosterone. They are often tested for in sports and other competitive environments due to their potential to enhance physical performance and muscle growth. Detection of steroids can indicate misuse or abuse, leading to potential disqualification or penalties in athletic contexts. Additionally, steroids can have significant health risks, making their use a concern in broader medical and legal contexts.
A normal drug test doesnt show steroids. Steroids are only found if they test specifically for them. The military does not test for steroids because it is too expensive, and its considered a danger to service. The test they do for steroids would have to be a blood test.
No. standard drug tests do not test for anabolic steroids. If someone wants to test you for steroids, they need to give you a specialized (and expensive) anabolic steroids test. I know this because I am in the military and have weekly drug tests and know several people injecting

The DOT does not test for anabolic steroids. A pre-employment or random drug test by the DOT only test for narcotics.

Absolutely not ive taken steroids for years anf many employment drug tests. You have to test your testosterone levels to find steroids. No worries
Most regular drug screenings do not test for steroids. They mainly test for commonly abused drugs, i.e. heroin, cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, methamphetamine, etc.
Saliva testosterone tests do exist, however most drug tests administered by employers do not screen for steroids.
Yes
Depends on if they're screening for steroids or not.
