International Olympic Committee accredited laboratories play a key role in upholding the principle of fair play and innate ability, as desired by the majority of sports competitors and spectators. Not only does doping damage the image of sport, but it can also be harmful to the individual. The great majority of samples test negative but, when an adverse finding is declared, the analytical data must be of a sufficiently high standard to withstand legal challenges by third parties. The most…

TLDR
Anabolic steroids are being considered for the treatment of cachexia associated with chronic disease states, and to address loss of muscle mass in the elderly, but nevertheless their efficacy still needs to be demonstrated in terms of improved physical function and quality of life.
Metabolism of anabolic steroids and their relevance to drug detection in horseracing.
TLDR
The aim of this paper is to review current knowledge of the metabolism of appropriate steroids, the current approaches to their detection in equine sport and future trends that may affect equine dope testing.
Exercise, Science and Designer Doping: Traditional and Emerging Trends.
TLDR
The pharmaceutical industry continues to manufacture new medicines, pushing back the boundaries in combating wasting disease states and the ageing process, but is inadvertently producing the latest generation of doping agents, which will challenge anti-doping scientists.
Anabolic Steroid Use
TLDR
Until AAS are classified in the same capacity as street drugs in the UK, where possession becomes a criminal offence, they will continue to attract those who want to win at any cost.
Knowledge and Attitudes of Amateur Sports Participants Regarding the Cardiac Risks Associated With the Use of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids
TLDR
The knowledge of the cardiac risks associated with the use of anabolic steroids amongst amateur sports participants was generally poor and efforts must be made to educate coaches and gym facilities about the harmful effects of certain performance enhancing drugs.
Contemporary Patterns of Anabolic Steroids Abuse and Associated Short Term Side Effects in Athletes
TLDR
Conclusions: Contemporary AS users consistently practice overdose polypharmacy and knowledge of this type of abuse can be beneficial for the treatment of the side effects.

Public health impact and implications of the use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and associated drugs amongst the male general population
Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and associated drug use is now recognised as a significant concern and an emerging public health issue. Once restricted to the elite sporting arena, recent decades…

Anabolic steroids: Metabolism, doping and detection in equestrian and human sports
TLDR
During the 1960s, many pharmaceutically licensed chemical analogues of testosterone were released on to the market, these analogues being designed to enhance the anabolic effect for clinical purposes but competitors also desired these drugs, wanting the muscle building effects of testosterone but without the androgenic effects.

TLDR
An attempt to provide a chronology and an insight into this baleful aspect of modern sport of athletes using anabolic steroids.
Doping in sport: misuse, analytical tests, and legal aspects.
TLDR
The proceedings of this symposium, published in this issue of Clinical Chemistry, bring together health, social, endocrine, and analytical perspectives in a widely read peer-reviewed journal.
Anabolic steroid abuse
TLDR
Education alone is probably not the answer to stopping anabolic steroid abuse but is an essential first step in combating this problem, physicians should avoid condemning individuals who choose to use anabolic steroids and encourage discussion of use with their health providers.
Anabolic steroids: A review of the literature
TLDR
A detailed review of the literature on anabolic steroids is provided that provides the reader the information needed to make an informed decision on the relative risks and benefits of anabolic steroid to the athlete.
Hormonal doping and androgenization of athletes: a secret program of the German Democratic Republic government.
Several classified documents saved after the collapse of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in 1990 describe the promotion by the government of the use of drugs, notably androgenic steroids, in…
Recent Developments in the Toxicology of Anabolic Steroids
TLDR
The anabolic steroids are toxic drugs with both long and short term effects, and their abuse by athletes is to be decried, particularly in view of the frequent and prolonged use by the young.
Issues in detecting abuse of xenobiotic anabolic steroids and testosterone by analysis of athletes' urine.
TLDR
Among ancillary tests to help discriminate between naturally increased T/E values and those reflecting T use, the most promising is determination of the carbon isotope ratio.

Nandrolone excretion is not increased by exhaustive exercise in trained athletes.
TLDR
This study provides compelling evidence that endogenous nandrolone production in male athletes, during two very different types of exercise, produces urine levels far below the IOC threshold of 2 ng.mL(-1) urine, and thus exercise does not induce endogenous n androlone secretion.
