What are steroids if they are not recreational drugs?

Although they are not routinely tested for, they certainly do cause cognitive effects which can impair one's ability to perform safety critical tasks. Many companies would test for them if there was suspicion of interference with safety.

IME - yes poppy seeds can trigger the test for opioids, but it is a simple matter to differentiate between them and heroin.
