Brief Answer:
No it can not detect this drug

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If there is normal gas chromatography then it will not detect steroid. If there is urine test or blood test then it can detect this. It does not get excreted through lung.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
