I want to know for sure if they are detectable or not cuz I want to use them for my next contest prep and the contest is drug tested. If they are, what is the detection time?
Are t3 and t4 detectable?
- Thread starter gdan271189
- Start date
Are you competing in a natural organization?
Its very possible to check blood levels of t3 and t4, as doctors do this to check for thyroid disorders. But I'm not sure if such a test would be administered at a bodybuilding competition. But personally, if its not allowed, I think its kind of uncool to be doing it in the first place. Just compete in a non-tested show instead.
