The detection and confirmation of androstenediol abuse in athletes
Resource description
Project Title: The detection and confirmation of androstenediol abuse in athletes
Researchers: R. Kazlauskas, G.J. Trout, A.T. Cawley
Institution: Australian Sports Drug Testing Laboratory, Australia
Year accepted: 2005
Summary: It is proposed to use the same methodology which has been developed in this laboratory for the detection of dehydoepiandrosterone (DHEA) abuse. Specific markers arising from 4-androstenediol and 5- androstenediol abuse will be looked for in both the glucuronide and sulfate steroid fractions. Once identified these compounds will be used both for GC-MS screening and for GC-C-IRMS confirmation procedures.
