steroids in protein?

[powerlifter53]

I recently read an article that said some companies use small traces of steroids in their protein supplements. Is this true?

 

[putin]

I doubt it.

 

[MuffDyver]

if it is then those steroids are weak

Actually a couple years ago this jacked worker at gnc told me that a couple companies did do that about 5-8 years ago (and remember, this was a couple years ago he told me this) he said that people would kind of figure it out and then it would start flying off the shelves and then the next thing you knew, gnc would stop carrying it. HOWEVER, i dont know if they were steroids, ph's, whatever, and this is just some random guy who told me that, it could have been bs, ive never bothered to investigate. Try googling it.

Ive heard of it. But the ppl that said it said it was like over 10 years ago, long before my time Nowadays things have to get through hard controls.

Wasnt there some scandal while back where there was some supp (dunno if it was protein) where the company added small amounts of dbol or some other steroid to the supp? or am i just making stuff up?

Contamination with steroids and prosteroids, willingly or accidentally, happens more than you think.
Comparison by country...

 

[Thoms]

Companies that also sell prohormones are more likely to have their other products contaminated.

Occurence of the differend (pro)steroids. even straight test is among them.

 

[Thoms]

a shocking 18.8% of supps in the USA is contaminated.
tribulus, vitamins, protein...

no it happened

Hans Geyer, Michael Bredehöft, Ute Mareck, Maria Parr, Wilhelm Schänzer. High doses of the anabolic steroid metandienone found in dietary supplements. European Journal of Sport Science, vol.3, issue 1, 2003.

15mg dianabol/pil

 

[Rules]

0.01 micro g/g up to 190 micro g/g...

0.19% max

or so the study says... Its a lot like the "this product was produced in a factory where nut processing occurs" warning. Very interesting stuff though.

 

[uff]

not long ago in the uk nandrolone was found to be in several protein drinks,cant remember what make or stuff but it happened

Read a while ago some nfl player forgot who neways he was tested positive for steroids which he blamed on nitrotech after further investigation it wwas found that nitrotech had traces of andro in it, i had long heard nitro tech protein was good so i was researching on it and thats how i came accross this thing, that also explains why nitotech proudly states that you could gain 10 pounds of muscle from using nitrotech.
Just wanted to say in case you wondered nitro tech doesnot list andro as one of its ingredients which means andro shouldnt be there in any case.

(pro)hormones use to be used in a lot of protein powders like SANS...

A certain brand of M1T contained 14% D-bol according to a lab report that I read. It was not the manufacturer either.
