I hear that when teaching in south korea you need to pass a drug test before you can go. However about 12 months ago I look some Deca-Durabolin (steriod). This was a long time ago and happily I have come to my senses and will never do it again. ( So please no high ground criticism I understand it was a mistake).

However, I have found out that this can stay in your blood and be detectable for 18 months in some cases for drug testing for the E2 visa to teach ESL in South Korea.

Can anybody verify that the tests will either not pick it up or that they will not be bothered about the presence of this in my blood. I would hate to go out there and get sent home.

Thanks

if you're that worried, why don't you get it tested there before coming to korea?

it's like you asking "have i wiped my a@@ well enough that i have no residue?" Razz

There's always a clever one isn't there....!!

I wasn't asking if it was present, because I know it is. I was asking if they test for it!

I'm just curious if the OP started an account using his real name to ask if the juice would show in his health check.
