NYPD union sues Adams administration over new ‘zero tolerance’ policy on steroid use among cops (www.nydailynews.com)

New York City’s 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 didn’t 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.

Abusing steroids regularly make people irrational and angry and if there's a job in America that really needs to scale that back, the police are numero fucking uno.

I hope all the criminals on the force who are currently breaking the law, enjoy their coming lack of testosterone. Once you start roids or T injections you have to keep that shit up for life or you quickly lose all ur gains, but get to keep the tiny testicles.

At least they'll look proportionate, thise bitches are clearly compensating for their tiny dicks. Not that I know personally, but anecdotally, every women I know who has dated a cop confirms it.

Every single one. Fuck em.

You can use steroids without abusing them.

I can't put that faith in the police tho, as they've repeatedly shown they aren't worth any extension of trust.

We didn't break the trust with the police, they broke it with us. There's no song called Fuck the Firefighters that everyone's been singing for 40 fucking years.
