Also, from the article
"The new protocol which was enacted on Dec. 26, 2023, and described in an internal memo reviewed by The News as a zero tolerance drug policy beefs up the old rule by affirming that officers must immediately notify their district surgeon of any steroid prescription they receive and provide all supporting medical documentation to the surgeon backing up the need for the drug."
So basically they just have to provide the RX and proof that they're supposed to be taking it, and they're mad about that despite it being common sense.
Cops work weird hours and are expected to stay in shape, but no special supplements allowed?If it's too tough they should probably quit
Cops work weird hours and are expected to stay in shape, but no special supplements allowed?You think steroids are for 'staying in shape'?
This just made me imagine huge 'roided-out cops walking around, which is hilarious and terrifying
Also, from the articleAcab, but I hate having to list the medicinal drugs I take for my employers. I have taken prescribed steroids in the past for my lungs (I have asthma). But if were talking the kind of steroids that get athletes kicked out of competitions being taken just because, yeah, fuck them cops.

New York Citys largest cop union is suing Police Commissioner Edward Caban and Mayor Adams for implementing a new zero tolerance policy on NYPD officers using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs, the Daily News has learned.
In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday, lawyers for the Police Benevolent Association alleged the previously undisclosed policy flies in the face of a legal agreement the union entered into with the city in 2011.
The 2011 contract prohibited officers from ingesting or possessing any anabolic steroid or other forms of human growth hormones without a medical prescription. However, the old standard didnt require officers to run any such prescription by their NYPD district surgeon before starting to use it.
The new protocol which was enacted on Dec. 26, 2023, and described in an internal memo reviewed by The News as a zero tolerance drug policy beefs up the old rule by affirming that officers must immediately notify their district surgeon of any steroid prescription they receive and provide all supporting medical documentation to the surgeon backing up the need for the drug.
If officers are caught violating the new rule by, for example, deviating from a prescribed dosage, they can face firing, the memo says.
The PBAs lawsuit alleges the new protocol is illegal because it unilaterally revokes the 2011 standard without bargaining. The union says it is not challenging the prohibition on illegal steroid use.
In addition, defendants breached the 2011 contract by incorporating multiple provisions that deviate significantly from the originally agreed upon language of the 2011 order concerning new burdens it was placing on police officers, charges the suit, which names the NYPD as a defendant, in addition to Adams and Caban.
It wasnt immediately clear if any particular incident prompted the stricter steroid use rule.
The NYPD press office declined to comment on the new suit. Adams office didnt immediately return a request for comment.
Anabolic steroids, which are illegal without a prescription, can speed up muscle growth and have been abused by athletes. Side effects can include severe mood swings and violent behavior.
TL:DR - The Union isn't fighting about steriods being prohibited unless there is a prescription. They're fighting the fact that the change was made without the union's input.

LmfaoWell, it asks a cop for the barest shred of accountability, which really interrupts their busy schedule of driving the weeoweeo box and shooting unarmed people.
Right so its not a zero tolerance policy at all and cops are just mad the law applies to them too.
Not sure why I even thought of giving them the benefit of the doubt
I got several people replying to my first post I think its too much to reply to them all, I think some kind of TRT supervised by a doctor is beneficial, and may even regulate your moodNow try reading the actual topic before coming in with your bullshit.

Wording seems clear and fair, I dont see an issue with this.
This definitely feels like a "Sure, Jan." Why would they be suing if they agree with the outcome?
but imagine it wasn't the Police union and it was the Teacher's Union or UPS Drivers, and the district or company decided to unilaterally change the drug policy.Do the Teacher's Union or UPS drivers have the same history as the cop union?

The issue, or so the union claims, is that the change was made without negotiation, which violates a prior agreement.
I understand that there is a heavy ACAB sentiment here on CE, but imagine it wasn't the Police union and it was the Teacher's Union or UPS Drivers, and the district or company decided to unilaterally change the drug policy.

But I'll let you all go back to just spamming ACAB
Really showing your whole ass with this little snipe.
It's like "I understand their argument, even if it's 100% wrong" isn't an option. It has to be "fuck that side" or you get beatdown.Probably because you're going to bat for people who deliver actual beatdowns when they get questioned.
Probably because you're going to bat for people who deliver actual beatdowns when they get questioned.I guess.
Blanket ban on steroids is weird.It's not a ban, they have to supply medical documentation when they use a diagnosed steroid.
Like there is a world a difference between a guy who does a low dose of testosterone vs a guy who blasts Trenbolone.
It's like "I understand their argument, even if it's 100% wrong" isn't an option.That's not what you're saying though. If that's what you were saying, you wouldn't be getting criticized

, I'm saying that they (probably) have a right to argue whether or not the Department can unilaterally change something the union agreed on and is in their contract.Correct. You did not say they are 100% wrong.
Correct. You did not say they are 100% wrong.
