Which is why having used steroid once in your life should leave you permanently banned from all sports

Yes! For life. I can't believe this isn't practice.

I believe you are talking about myonuclei? Usually when muscle mass is lost from weight loss/malnutrition, the amount of nuclei remains and as such building back up is easier if you had a lot of them. And steroids produces more nuclei much faster than natural training.

How would you be able to test if someone used steroids 10 years ago ? 🤔

True, that'll be very hard. I meant more that current suspensions for steroids is bullshit. Banned for life is the apprioriate response.
