Good find though Prince. It would seem that telling employers of steroid use, regardless of conviction, would violate a person's rights.

Government May Tell Your Boss That You’re On Steroids
Former PowerMedica Clients: Government May Tell Your Boss That You’re On Steroids
By Millard Baker
If the government finds out that you’re using anabolic steroids, it might tell your boss. This may have happened with some former clients of PowerMedica, a now-defunct hormone replacment clinic according to the South Florida Times. The newspaper obtained internal documents from the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) revealing that investigators carefully scrutinized the client list seized from PowerMedica during a steroid raid in 2005 in an effort to identify who the customers were and where they worked.
The South Florida Times reports that PowerMedica customers included celebrities, city employees, military personnel, law enforcement officers and other first responders from around the country. Unnamed sources used by the newspaper allege that big brother may have told the employers about the steroid use of certain PowerMedica clients. Specifically, it appears that the employees of local government agencies were notified.
According to internal BSO documents obtained by South Florida Times, customers of PowerMedica included celebrities, members of the military, law enforcement officers, firefighters and lifeguards from around the country.
Besides BSO deputies, the list of local customers includes employees from the cities of West Palm Beach, North Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Lauderhill, Hialeah, Lake Worth, the Palm Beach County School District, Broward County and Fort Lauderdale.
According to sources, those agencies were notified of their employees’ alleged involvement with PowerMedica as far back as 2005, shortly after the raid took place.
PowerMedica was a Deerfield Beach (Florida) pharmaceutical company raided in 2005 by federal agents for selling mislabelled human growth hormone (hGH) and anabolic steroids without a valid prescription. An undercover investigation by federal agents from the Food and Drug Administration found the company to distribute hGH imported from China as well as anabolic steroids such as stanozolol and nandrolone decanoate.

If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't steroids likely IMPROVE one's job performance? It's been proven that obese people tend to be lazier and slack off at work more than those who are in shape. Originally Posted by Prince

What fuckin purpose does it serve to tell the employers. So an honest hard working family man that is in superior shape, is an excellent worker, father husband etc. might lose his job because some heartless prick feels it's the best thing to tell his boss. ASSHOLES!
