If they check: Employer drugs panels vary, but generally screen for a relatively narrow range of substances. Union contracts or industry regs may define the package. Many athletes now are carefully screened, and those who check for it are skilled at detection. More importantly, make sure you understand possible long term risks and work with your md.

No: Dhea is metabolized to cortisone, estrogen and testosterone -- and you can';t control which one is goes to. Also, there is no medical indication to take it in the first place, and most of the dhea supplements have little dhea in them. Worry about your health, not a drug test. Don't get your medical advice from tv or the internet!
