what do you do when your boss asks if you take steroids

[askari]

My boss asked me yesterday if I take steroids. I've been growing gradually over the past few years, but I've been doing GH since December and test for about two weeks, and yesterday he noticed and asked. At first I said "no" then, in private, I said "none of your fucking business" and he said "I don't care but it's very dangerous ... blah blah blah." I started to engage him on the "it's very dangerous" misperception then thought better of it, and we ended amicably with an agreement that it's my business and it won't affect my employment. Later last night, in a bar, the president of the company said "you're fitter every time I see you" and I just smiled and said "I've already had this conversation today" and I changed the subject.

But seriously. How do you handle this. We're doing this stuff so we grow. And when we grow, people notice. People aren't stupid. They're not going to believe our denials. What if it did affect my employment? What if there were drug tests?

I don't think just a regular drug test can detect steroids unless specifically a test for steroids. I'm not positive though. Bump for other answers.

Ask him if he would like to buy some j/k

You've got more balls then me... since Ive started working I've gained about 30 pounds. My boss (who works out) asked me if I was taking any illegal supplements. Of course I said no... I value my job to much.

A pre canned answer sounds funny. However I usually say "you don't need steroids with the supplements and protein on the market today, steroids are kind of dangerous arent they?" Turns it around on them and works for me. I know some will jump on this thread and say just tell them to go to hell or piss off, but you know you can't realistically do that all the time.

Just start mumbling in an obsessive compulsive way about your stapler and slowly walk away...

LOL

I already do that.

 

[NDK]

lifesabitch you are correct about the drug test.

 

[eleven11]

Just tell them that you eat well and train very hard ( which is the truth ) and then look at there gut and tell him or her they should do the same.

 

[cvguy]

1) LIE and say "Never! Those things will give you brain cancer!"

2) Talk about the wonderful new supplements you've been buying at GNC...Creatine and whatever...and the new workout program that your personal trainer put you on...and that new protein powder that you eat for breakfast

No, steroid tests are independent of each other i.e. You have to know what you are testing for.

A standard blood test would show elevated Test levels but not the substance used.

poke em in the stomach and say you work out hard ... j/k! i agree with everybody else .... i usually just laugh and say nah, i just take alot of protein, creatine and eat every three hours ... down play it w/o getting defensive abou it.

 

[SuperJew]

You have to test specifically for steroids. And from my understanding, it's quite expensive. Just tell him how you leave a little piece of your ass in the gym everytime you workout. And ask him if he knows how hard it is to eat every 2 hours no matter what. If he knows what it's like to try to get 300 grams of protein with a busy schedule. He'll get the picture.

When I start gear, if anyone at work asked me I would say hell no. But if my family asked, I would say yes. People not close to me don't have to know. But why would I get all defensive and pissed off for people assuming that I am on juice if I really am? I wouldn't lie to my family. Anyone else can fuck off.

Andro all the way. Keep it within legal boundaries, the last thing you want to do is lose a job over something like this. Make a joke about it, like some of the other guys said. "No way, Ive heard it makes your dick smaller, and the wife just wouldnt allow that!"

 

[cinnabar8521]

Tell them no, then say you are using some new vitimins from balco labs

 

[einstein1905]

Any number of replies will work:
1.) I'm using MuscleTech products and I need a raise to afford more of this overpriced crap
2.) Cybergenics
3.) Bowflex
4.) It's got to be the Doggcrap (for those that are in the know)

tell em yeah you take steroids right after hitting the crack pipe and laugh really hard and they wont ask again lol...

 

[Grizzly]

I guess it depends on your boss. I've had several bosses that I told I used. they didn't give a shit. On one job, the plant manager used steroids and used to buy Viagra from the old lady I was seeing. It really depends on the boss.

Hell, at my current bar job, which I'm about to leave, they all know. I even let one of my coworkers interview me for a project he was doing for class on steroids. I had a few people come up to me and say, "I saw your interview" (it was taped in negative format or whatever the one is where you look blue and distorted.)

LMFAO

Tell ur boss no and to mind his fucking business. U are there to work for him not talk about ur personal life. Does he tell u hes impotent or had his balls removed? Thats shit u dont talk about at work. I never become real close friends with my boss cause if they decide to fire me I wanna whip his ass!!

LOL

Just tell him u work out and not to worry about u!

 

[mr_meanor]

I talk about how much protien and how hard I worked out at the gym everyday in front of my boss to avoid this question, assuming he will just know I have been training hard and that is it
