“A national expert who’s been studying steroid use in all types of subcultures from athletics to the military believes ‘tens of thousands’ of cops all across the U.S. are on such illegal drugs. A recent scandal in New Jersey turned up 248 public safety officials — most of them cops — who were getting steroids prescribed by a steroid-abusing doctor, and New Jersey officials responded by ordering random police drug testing. The biggest concern most people have over steroid ‘juiced’ cops is the potential for increased aggression in someone who’s armed and trained to use everything from pepper spray and stun guns to firearms.”
