Identify please

I found this laying in my sons bedroom. They have no names or markings on them.

Can anybody please identify them for me. Thank you

I know that kids are getting hold of empty capsules like the purple and red ones, and adding all kinds of rubbish. They getting sold at schools. I wouldn't panic but it may be worth asking your pharmacist.
Good luck and let us know!

Those blue tablets look awfully familiar but I can't place them...

Where they loose and in what sort of quantity?

The fact that you're posting on this forum, would suggest you suspect anabolics.

Does he workout?
Is he a gym rat?
Has he suddenly started looking a little more built?
Is he hiding under bulky clothes?

Who's he hanging with?
Apply the same questions to his friends?

And if it is anabolics, what's your plan of action?
Confronting him is already a breach of his privacy & trust (may as well have read his diary, type thing)
Screaming and shouting won't help - in fact, it might cause an escalation and things may get physical!!!

I suggest you have a plan that you can play calmly, that will get his buy in rather than get him defensive.
If it is steroids, I suggest you work with him to educate him thoroughly - eliminate bro-science.

The red ones look similar to Sports Evolution Winstrol... Although these capsules are quite common so it could be something more innocent and I don't want to jump to conclusions, just stating what I think.

Honestly, it's impossible to identify the capsules by looking at a photo. You have to give more info and Oupiel is certainly asking the right questions.

They were loose and there was about 10 of each.

Does he workout? Yes, has been working out for 3 years
Is he a gym rat? I won't say he's a gym rat but he likes to gym
Has he suddenly started looking a little more built? No not suddenly
Is he hiding under bulky clothes? Haven't noticed

Who's he hanging with? His usual rugby mates. Plays 1st team

Understood

Playing 1st team rugby is certainly the right place to feel the "pressure" to use steroids.

Wanna know where all the good stuff gets stashed - Ask the maid, seriously, they know everything that happens in the house.
They'll tell you if there's hypodermics, syringes etc. in the trash.
Look for tell tale signs like:
Bloated / puffy skin (water retention)
Oily skin / shiny face
Acne breakout
Obvious sudden muscle bulk

Bottom line though - you gonna need to get to a place where you can have an honest conversation and he feels safe enough to be honest with you.

If it is steroids, you don't need to loose your mind - it's not crack cocaine & it's not the end of the world.
Pandora's box is now open & there is no going back.
Best you then get clued up (here is the perfect place) so you can help him make better decisions.

Like unknown junk from unknown source - it is really clever to use?
Orals only - bad idea!
Orals for how long, all rugby season - terrible idea!
No PCT - you just took big risks for gains that will be lost!!

While you don't want to be seen condoning/aiding or abetting, you need to stay on his side.

Maybe exchange steroids for some professional training & diet help.
Your help with that and proper nutrition at home might eliminate the need to use.

P.S. I'm a father with young boys, so although I haven't been where you are, I feel it.
Many others here are in the same boat.
So bounce your concerns or ideas at us - We'll help.

Just a warning, if those do turn out to be steroids nobody on this forum are allowed to give advice on how to use them if he is under 18 yrs of age.

Good point - noted

Thank you

I feel this needs to be said to the parent: It is a terrible idea for anyone under the age of 21 to use steroids!! If they are steroids you need to understand where your son is at instead of giving him the substance abuse speech. The problem is that he needs to see amazing results but he doesn't know anything about performance nutrition and training so his only other option is to take steroids. I will gaurentee if the right person is there to teach him and he saw the crazy results you can get with decent diet and training he would feel differently.

I haven't noticed any of these signs. He has always been a person that looks well after his body and gym everyday. I just came upon the stuff by accident because he asked me to bring something he left in his room to school. So I was just wondering what they might be.

He has a excercise and supplement program that was worked out for him. He is using like pre and post workouts and the protein and stuff.

Thank you for the advice.
