Anabolic Agents

The Anabolic class includes anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and Beta-2 Agonists.

1. Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS)

The AAS class includes testosterone and substances that are related in structure and activity to it. They have been misused in sport to increase muscle strength bulk, and to promote aggressiveness.

Some examples of AAS are:

clostebol
fluoxymesterone
metandienone
metenolone
nandrolone
oxandrolone
stanozolol
testosterone *
... and related substances

Note: The administration of testosterone is banned. The presence of a testosterone (T) to epitestosterone (E) ratio greater than six (6) to one (1) in the urine of a competitor constitutes an offense unless there is evidence that this ratio is due to a physiological or pathological condition, e.g. low epitestosterone excretion, androgen production by tumor, enzyme deficiencies.

2. Beta-2 Agonists

Some examples of beta-2 Agonists are:

clenbuterol
salbutamol
terbutaline
saimeterol
fenoterol
