The Dallas Police Department has announced that it will add illegal anabolic steroids to the list of banned substances that officers are tested for, beginning on July 1.
Acting Assistant Chief Floyd Simpson explains:
"It maintains the integrity of what we do and promotes community confidence," Chief Simpson said. "Nobody knows when they are going to be called for a test."
Dallas joins several big cities that now test their police officers, including
Baltimore, Houston and Phoenix, where several cops were caught up in a federal steroid probe last year.
