From population- to subject-based limits of T/E ratio to detect testosterone abuse in elite sports.

7 May 2007

From population- to subject-based limits of T/E ratio to detect testosterone abuse in elite sports / Pierre-Edouard Sottasa, Christophe Saudana, Carine Schweizer, Norbert Baume, Patrice Mangin, Martial Saugy. - (Forensic Science International 174 (2008) 2-3 ( 30 January) ; p. 166-172)

Abstract:

In elite sports, indirect testing of testosterone abuse is mainly based on the testosterone over epitestosterone (T/E) ratio. Since this marker is characterized by a small ratio of intra- to inter-individual variation, it is surprising that current anti-doping strategy uses a screening test based on a population-based limit.

From a database of more than 15,000 steroid profiles obtained from routine controls, the collection of steroids profiles of 11 elite athletes followed during 2 years, and a longitudinal study involving 17 amateur athletes, 8 of which were orally administrated testosterone undecanoate pills, we selected 12 case studies to represent the possible scenarios to which the anti-doping laboratories are confronted.

Various detection strategies at the disposal of the laboratories are employed and discussed, including isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) analysis and a Bayesian interpretation of the T/E-time profile. The weak sensitivity versus specificity relation of a population-based limit for the T/E ratio is outlined.

As a result, we propose a Bayesian screening test whose T/E threshold progressively evolves from a population basis to a subject basis as the number of individual test results increases. We found that this screening test heightens drastically the capacity to detect testosterone abuse, at no additional financial and administrative expenses for anti-doping authorities.

CAS 2006_A_1099 Neelam Jaswant Singh vs Athletics Federation of India & IAAF - Ruling ICAS on arbitrator

CAS 2006_A_1099 Neelam Jaswant Singh vs Athletics Federation of India & IAAF
July 2, 2007

In August 2005 the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Neelam Jaswant Singh after her A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Pemoline.

Thereupon the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) opened disciplinary proceedings against the Athlete. Ultimately the AFI Disciplinary Tribunal decided on 24 April 2006 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete.

Hereafter in June 2006 the Athlete appealed the AFI decision with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

In this preliminary proceeding before the International Council of Arbitration for Sport (ICAS) the Athlete challenged the appointment of the proposed Sole Arbitrator regarding his independence as arbitrator.

Following assessment the ICAS Board concludes that the challenge brought by the Athlete against the Sole Arbitrator was not submitted in a timely manner in accordance with art. R34 of the Code and is therefore inadmissible.

Accordingly the Board of the International Council of Arbitration for Sport considers on 2 May 2007:

1.) The petition for challenge to the appointment of Mr Lin Kok Loh, filed on 16 February 2007 by Ms Neelam Jaswant Singh, is rejected.

2.) Mr Lin Kok Loh shall continue to act as the Sole Arbitrator in the case CAS 2006/A/1099 Singh v/Athletics Federation of India & IAAF.

3.) The present decision is pronounced without costs.

4.) The present decision is not subject to appeal.

The effect of short-term use of testosterone enanthate on muscular strength and power in healthy young men

1 May 2007

The effect of short-term use of testosterone enanthate on muscular strength and power in healthy young men / Shane Rogerson, Robert P. Weatherby, Glen B. Deakin, Rudi A. Meir, Rosanne A. Coutts, Shi Zhou, Sonya M. Marshall-Gradisnik. - (Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 21 (2007) 2 (May); p. 354–361)

  • PMID: 17530941
  • DOI: 10.1519/R-18385.1


Abstract

Use of testosterone enanthate has been shown to significantly increase strength within 6-12 weeks of administration (2, 9), however, it is unclear if the ergogenic benefits are evident in less than 6 weeks. Testosterone enanthate is classified as a prohibited substance by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and its use may be detected by way of the urinary testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio (16). The two objectives of this study were to establish (a) if injection of 3.5 mg.kg(-1) testosterone enanthate once per week could increase muscular strength and cycle sprint performance in 3-6 weeks; and (b) if the WADA-imposed urinary T/E ratio of 4:1 could identify all subjects being administered 3.5 mg.kg(-1) testosterone enanthate. Sixteen healthy young men were match-paired and were assigned randomly in a double-blind manner to either a testosterone enanthate or a placebo group. All subjects performed a structured heavy resistance training program while receiving either testosterone enanthate (3.5 mg.kg(-1)) or saline injections once weekly for 6 weeks. One repetition maximum (1RM) strength measures and 10-second cycle sprint performance were monitored at the pre (week 0), mid (week 3), and post (week 6) time points. Body mass and the urinary T/E ratio were measured at the pre (week 0) and post (week 6) time points. When compared with baseline (pre), 1RM bench press strength and total work during the cycle sprint increased significantly at week 3 (p < 0.01) and week 6 (p < 0.01) in the testosterone enanthate group, but not in the placebo group. Body mass at week 6 was significantly greater than at baseline in the testosterone enanthate group (p < 0.01), but not in the placebo group. Despite the clear ergogenic effects of testosterone enanthate in as little as 3 weeks, 4 of the 9 subjects in the testosterone enanthate group (approximately 44%) did not test positive to testosterone under current WADA urinary T/E ratio criteria.

Anabolic steroid abuse: psychiatric and physical costs

Anabolic steroid abuse : psychiatric and physical costs / Farid Talih, Omar Fattal, Donald Malone Jr. - (Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine 74 (2007) 5 (May); p. 341-352)

  • PMID: 17506239
  • DOI: 10.3949/ccjm.74.5.341


Abstract

The psychiatric effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids (i.e., testosterone and its derivatives) have been less well studied than their physical effects but are reported to include depression, mania, psychosis, and aggression. Dependence can also occur, with withdrawal involving psychiatric and physical symptoms. Adverse effects of steroid abuse should be managed by discontinuing the drugs-by tapering if necessary-and by treating the symptoms.
