Hi Sham,
This is really a question that you should be asking the vet that supplied this anabolic steroid, as a positive swab to such a performance enhancing drug is going to attract a severe penalty.
However the information I have is that the withholding times for Winstrol Oral is a minimum of four weeks, while the injection will show positive for two months.
Please keep in mind that there is a good chance that my information is out of date as drug detection procedures are updated continuously, and therefore what may have been undetectable three months ago is now readily detected.
For safety sake I would be inclined to double the withholding times I have quoted as it's just not worth the risk.
Cheers,
Tom

Hi Tom
I have a bitch with the smae problem, Everywhere online I read states 3 weeks for oral and I note how some places it is longer but I think nthat is injectable. I dongt want to risk it . She stopped her dose yesterday so I hope I should be able to run in four weeks without a positive swab?? My vet says I shall be as I used 30mg every second day for 3 weeks
Thanks
Jamie

Hi Jamie,
I really don't think I can help you here as I have to be super cautious, and therefore I'm inclined to go the 6 weeks quoted by most authorities and then add two weeks to be absolutely sure. So from my point of view it's still 8 weeks all up before I personally would be prepared to risk it.
Having said that your vet is really the one in the right position to be able to give you a firm guide on minimum withholding times.
Cheers,
Tom
