Navy to Randomly Test Special Forces for Steroids, Army to Follow

Members of ‍Navy’s Elite Special Forces Units to Undergo Steroid Testing

In an effort ‌to ensure‌ the health, safety, ​and operational readiness of its⁢ elite special forces units, the Navy will begin testing for steroids ‍starting next⁢ month.‍ This new program was announced ‌by Rear Adm. Keith Davids, commander of Naval Special Warfare Command,​ who emphasized the ‌importance of maintaining the distinguished standards of excellence that define ‍the ​Navy’s special forces.

The Associated Press⁢ reported that steroid‍ use ⁢has been a “somewhat limited but persistent⁤ problem” among these units. As a ‍result, the Navy has decided to take‌ action‍ and implement random testing for four units each month, with approximately 15 percent of each unit being tested. This equates to around ‍200 ⁣individuals being tested per month.

Violators of the new ⁤policy will⁣ face disciplinary action, highlighting the Navy’s commitment to‍ eradicating unauthorized and unsupervised use of performance-enhancing drugs ‍(PEDs). However, the Navy acknowledges⁤ that some members may have legitimate⁣ medical⁤ conditions that ⁢require prescription supplementation. In ⁤such ‌cases, the Navy‍ encourages these individuals to⁣ consult with their medical providers for proper diagnosis and treatment.

The cost of implementing this testing program‌ is estimated to be around $4.5 million per year for the next two years.

This⁤ initiative follows a previous program ⁢conducted between February‍ 2022 and ‍March 2023,⁤ during which approximately 2,500 screenings were carried​ out. As a ⁣result, ⁣74 SEAL or Special⁢ Warfare Combat⁤ Crewmen were found⁢ to‌ have elevated testosterone levels.

Former SEAL⁢ Jeff Nichols, who admitted to using steroids during his⁢ service, now considers them “dangerous and unnecessary.” He believes that the ‌new ‌testing program will level the playing field and ultimately produce better SEALs.

While the Navy is taking proactive measures, the Army Special Operations Command has also expressed⁣ its intention⁢ to impose testing, although a specific start ‌date has not been indicated. On the⁤ other hand, the Air Force and Marine Corps special operations⁢ units have ‍not ‍announced any plans to follow suit.

It is clear that ​the Navy is committed to ⁢upholding the integrity and excellence ⁣of⁤ its special forces units,⁣ ensuring that every ⁢member ‍operates at ‌their best while‌ prioritizing‌ their⁣ health and safety.
