Detectability of testosterone esters and estradiol benzoate in bovine hair and plasma following pour-on treatment [PDF]

, 2009
The abuse of synthetic esters of natural steroids such as testosterone and estradiol in cattle fattening and sports is hard to detect via routine urine testing. The esters are rapidly hydrolysed in vivo into substances which are also endogenously present
