      Hi @liam2020,

      my understanding is that there are some forms of steroid that could go undetected – this might make athletes risk being caught. Another problem for athletes is that in some countries steroids are used in framing to beef up cattle etc. If an athlete then eats a steak from one of these animals, the drug will get into their system without their knowledge. A lot of athletes (particularly in the tour de France) heva been caught out by this.
