I hadnt heard of this before but apparently depending on the length of hair you can detect steroids from years ago!
From what iv read its better than urine or blood and if you pluck it out while they are stood in front of you they cant cheat (unless they are Wayne Rooney or Elton John) and its not a scary needle.
Manny has longish hair, someone should knick his hair brush, imagine all that evidence left in the shower at the wildcard gym;D

Judge Judy goes on about them in her court, so you could be on to something.
If hair steroids tests are legit, it would be nice if it could cancel some of the cycling that goes around.
Couldn't you just shave your head?
If you see Manny Pacquiao with a shaved head when Floyd gets out of prison we know why. LolQuote:

I know poison (arsenic for example) can be detected from hair samples, it makes sense that PED use could be detected as well.Quote:

Its probably not used because it is too thorough and easy.
I've heard it's one of the more accurate tests for long term use etc, some stuff will stay in your hair for ages. Don't know whether they would be able to tell how recently anyone had taken something by the same token though. My hair is probably still full of cannaboids, apparently it takes years to clear that way;D
They'll have to take a hair off his old nutsac.Quote:

I found this just by doing a simple search on the best steroid test.
Imagine being a fighter and bringing this up to the media in negotiations?
One simple test that blows urine and random blood tests out the water. Why doesnt someone whos on these fighters twitter share the info and let them bring it up and make everyone aware how easy it is to check someone.
It's worth a try. They need to revamp testing, because the current testing (more often than not) isn't catching the cheaters.
Guys only get caught when the FBI busts the lab they buy from and finds their names on reciepts, and of course that's way too late.
