Detection of Epitestosterone Doping by Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
AbstractBackground: Epitestosterone is prohibited by sport authorities because its administration will lower the urinary testosterone/epitestosterone ratio, a marker of testosterone administration. A definitive method for detecting epitestosterone administration is needed.Methods: We developed a gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass ...
