legal issues need help!

I agree with alot of the others. Firstly doesnt sound like the type of gym or employer that you want to work for. Id start looking for a new place. I would deny any use in the mean time and beyond. If you start to push back at her and cause dramas she will get rid of you for another reason. She would be able to find or make something up.

Best of luck with it

Hey guys, im fairly new the the board and new to "supplements" as well, i have only been using since october of last year. im a trainer at a gym where "meat heads" arn't exactly the clientele, members continue looking the same year after year so i stick out because im contantly looking better. my boss can detect the supplements i take and asked me to stop using or else i will be fired. im training to compete in the next year or 2 so obviously the useage is a must. my question is can she actually fire me for using? i have never brought any items into the gym i work at everything is done on my own time. i feel like it would be deformation of character if she fired me for using, especially since she has no hard evidence and i have a clean police record.

bend over and take it from her now...try wearing baggy clothes and look for another job....
honestly some of the responses i read on here are comical...you don't want to be in a court of law fighting this when you have illegal substances running through your veins...i know it's a shitty situation but you need $$...but jealous people suck....

It appears like your question has been sufficiently answered, so I'll just point out...did anyone else notice "deformation of character"? Sorry, but I laughed out loud.

Or better yet, just lay out the words "I FUCKING QUIT" spelled out in syringes on her desk, and when she sees them pop out from behind the door covered in protan and oil, clad in thong and just scream "THE JUICE IS LOOSE BITCH" and run out the door while holding a lat spread

This is probably the best thing to do, let us know how it goes
Don't forget the lat spread on the way out, this is key

Are you even an employee or a private contractor who files a 1099. I work out at a fancy gym and there is a heavily juiced trainer. Super nice guy, but IMHO he doesn't fit in. Being super fit and setting a positive example to affluent middle class clients is not juicing up. Many of the gym members think those guys look silly. I'm 6 feet, 215lb, nothing for this board. But my wife says I look like a juicer and she wishes I would drop 25lbs. And she is your target audience, a 40 year old CPA who likes to exercise

How old are you? Just curious? And yes you can be fired, or forced to take a drug test if your employer suspects you of drug use. The only way they wouldn't be able to is if you had a union or contract stating that you don't have to submit to testing unless just cause.

I'm willing to bet it's either you mentioning use to people, or the way you act. I can spot a guy new to gear a mile away, or just those guys who feel cool because they are using. Not to mention any gym owner with half a brain should be able to spot someone who uses, especially someone new to it.

How many times in you life do you all the sudden add 10-20lbs? There are thousands of guys here who have been doing this for years and there will always be those who think if you have any decent size that you are on something, but most have no issues because they keep it to themselves.

Maybe her concern is you strike her as the type to suggest or offer gear to clients in her gym. Unfortunately it's still illegal, yet you can stop at any corner store and buy bath salts then eat someones face, but that's a different story, point is she may not want her employees associated with anything illegal and apparently doesn't seem to trust your judgmental skills because it's also good for a gym to have trainers who look like they lift, but it seems that shes more concerned over how you will impact the business.

Sorry to sound negative man, and I'm not bashing you, but it sounds to me like you are giving off the "look at me I'm on gear vibe" or have been talking to people, or she has a brain and can see it, but doesn't trust you to keep it quiet. It's pretty common for employers to test if the have valid concern that an employee is using illegal substances.

im only 21 years old, but my personality has stayed the same. i wear a sweatshirt any chance i get, when i workout thats the only time anybody would be able to actually see what i look like. only people who i talk to about it are my friends outside the gym who are members here (the gym is in my home town). im still by far the friendliest person the members can deal with here.

so this must be a personaly owned gym, and what they asked you randomly to take a drug test which was testing for steroids, and did you know it was testing for steroids?
