It's a drug whose legitimate medical use is pretty much limited to jump starting testosterone production for fertility reasons or conditions that cause testosterone production to shut down. One of those conditions is, of course, taking steroids. It's also used off label for a controversial weight loss program. You note that he said it was to treat an unnamed medical condition. I guess he didn't want to say it was to treat man boobs and in inability to get it up.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

I find I don't care about drugs in sports. Yeah, they're wrecking their bodies but they feel the costs are worth it. Spectators want the big plays. The human body can't consistently give the big performances the audience wants. Then the world finds out what's necessary to give the spectacle and has a hissy fit.
This isn't a case of back alley dealers giving sniffling, desperate junkies their next hit. This is a case of aware grown-ups doing what they think they need to to stay marketable. I think the sports organization powers that be operate on a principle of "Sufficient until the day we're caught, then we sacrifice the schmuck."

So it turns out that SHOUT Wipes do a fairly decent job at cleaning blood stains.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. Calling various tenant organizations, lawyers, etc. I just want some vague idea on how much it might cost and how much trouble it might be to go to court. Trying to decide if it's worth fighting to stay until my lease runs out in 4 1/2 months.
But it sounds like things could drag on for months, which means I could stay until close to when my lease runs out anyway....

That's exactly what will happen. There's no way they can evict a paying tenant for this issue in a short period of time.
They can always pay you to leave.
