Dr. Mauro DiPasquale Recommended Blood Work for Steroid Users
[July 15th, 2008] by Millard BakerDr. Mauro DiPasquale appeared on No Bull Radio to discuss anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing drugs. DiPasquale is a “world renowned expert in the application and detection of anabolic steroids, growth hormone and other ergogenic drugs” according to his website. DiPasquale shared his recommended blood work for steroid-using bodybuilders with Dave Palumbo (”Dr Mauro Dipasquale’s Recommended Blood Work for BBers,” July 14).
