Read on to learn what to look for if you think somebody's gains might not be entirely natural. [1] X Research source

Warnings
- No individual sign, by itself, tells you for sure that someone is on steroids. Several signs at once increase the odds that the person is on steroids but still don't add up to 100% proof. Only a blood test can tell you for sure if someone is on steroids.Thanks
- Steroids are particularly dangerous for teenagers. If you suspect a teen is using steroids, talk to them as soon as possible. [16] X Research sourceThanks
