Abstract

According to the regulations for international competitions all organizers of international championships and competitions are obliged to carry out doping control tests (blood tests, urine tests etc.) on athletes. The administration of hormones to athletes with the intention of improving performance has been a common practice for many years, and in the last ten years this practice has reached serious proportions internationally, and recently also in Norway. We are therefore very pleased that anabolic steroids have been added to the International Olympic Committee Medical Commissions list of banned classes of drugs because laboratory means of detecting anabolic steroids by use of radio-immunoassay techniques and chromatography/mass spectrometry systems have become available.
