Here's the Best Evidence-Based Way to Tell If Someone Is on Steroids

Published: Feb. 6, 2019, 2 p.m.

How can you tell if someone is natty or not?

This is a wellspring of controversial fitness gossip, and particularly among men.

Some people say that it\u2019s childish, rude, and unnecessary to ask or even wonder if so-and-so is \u201cnatty\u201d or not. Don\u2019t ask for whom the bell tolls and all that.

Others don\u2019t take issue with the line of discussion but claim there are major problems with the common methods of analysis. Thus, they say, unless it\u2019s completely obvious, it\u2019s really impossible to know whether someone is on the sauce or not.

And still others can\u2019t fathom why people purportedly into being healthy and fit would secretly use dangerous drugs to impress strangers on the Internet.

Here\u2019s my position:

1. I couldn\u2019t care less whether someone does or doesn\u2019t take steroids. That\u2019s their business.
2. I do care, however, when someone takes steroids and lies about it to deceive people. That\u2019s when it becomes other people\u2019s business.

Why?

Because it\u2019s no different than lying about anything else to make a buck or burnish your bona fides, and it\u2019s one of the reasons so many young men and women have wildly unrealistic expectations about what type of physique they can achieve naturally and should aspire to.

This is why you should get savvy about discerning who does and doesn\u2019t use drugs. Let\u2019s learn how.
