Anabolic steroid detection in athletes uses gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and isotope ratio analysis. New methods are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use due to rapid pharmacokinetics.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Anabolic steroids are synthetic testosterone derivatives banned in sports.
  • Detection methods must distinguish between natural and administered testosterone.
  • Adverse effects and banned status necessitate reliable doping detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review anabolic-androgenic steroid use in sports.
  • To overview anti-doping laboratory detection methods for steroids in urine.
  • To emphasize testosterone doping detection strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of anabolic steroid testing, athletic use, and adverse effects.
  • Analysis of current anti-doping laboratory procedures.
  • Focus on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and isotope ratio analysis.

Main Results:

  • Outlined procedures for detecting doping with endogenous steroids.
  • World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines ensure uniform reporting of abnormal steroid profiles.
  • Detection methods address testosterone, its precursors, and masking agents.

Conclusions:

  • Current technology is suitable for detecting intramuscular testosterone administration.
  • Oral testosterone administration requires urine collection within hours of intake due to rapid pharmacokinetics.
  • Development of specific biomarkers for long-term oral testosterone detection is needed.
