There is a maximum of police work that goes: behind every crime, there is a reason. E 'sports bodybuilding and many others. Everyone remembers Lee Haney, Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman and the chain of Mr. Olympia victories, but try naming who placed second of these three crops every year.
In terms of professional and amateur elite athletes, "the main reason for training is intense desire to be number one. The second main reason is greed. Athleticsuccess can be turned into a financial windfall through visas, apparitions, and contracts for professional sports. Given the potential benefits of athletic success can bring, not surprising that some athletes might choose to shift the odds more in their favor. Some of the most common (successful or not) the methods used by athletes to beat anabolic steroid tests.
Blockers
In an endless search for athletes to find a methodpass a drug test, the use of blocking agents has become a road well traveled. Blockers are drugs that athletes "belief" that will be used anabolic steroids for the time of the competition. The word "belief" is emphasized that the effectiveness of blocking agents is more myth than reality.
To use an example, let's look at the drug probenecid, which was initially developed to slow the excretion of the body of penicillin.Probenecid has also been shown to slow the rate of excretion of the class of drugs called keto-steroids. Hearing this, many athletes take that probenecid also slow the rate of excretion of anabolic steroids. Probenecid, however, is not very efficient to do so, even if it is on the list of substances banned by most sports federations, and is easily detected in a drug test.
DIURETICS
Diuretics are used to dilute the urine, increasing theThe excretion of water. Some bodybuilders have used diuretics to speed up the elimination of all drugs in their systems. To counter this, the drug testers to use a technique known as the severity of specific tests. Tester to compare the weight of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of water, which has a density of one. If an athlete to dilute the urine specific gravity is much weaker than normal. There are, however, some controversy regarding the range is acceptable asThe normal value of urine specific gravity. As with blocking agents, most of the sports federations diuretics added to its list of banned substances. Diuretics are a poor way to beat anabolic steroid tests.
REPLACEMENT
Another method of cheating is the substitution of a non-addicts "clean" urine of athletes clean. A method reported by some bodybuilders and other athletes for women is to hide a condom full of "clean" urine into the vagina. When the athleteis known to produce a sample, a quick blow with a condom broke a finger and urine sample clean news. To prevent this slight of hand by the athletes, officials of the implementation of close monitoring.
Catheterization
This is an extreme method of substitution and try to beat the testing of anabolic steroids. Using a catheter (a long thin rubber tube) through the urethra into the bladder, an athlete can empty the bladder clean and fill with clean urine.If this procedure is performed incorrectly can cause serious infections, bleeding, and / or rupture of the bladder. There is a paradoxical aspect of this procedure. Because of the sensitivity of drug tests, the athlete may still be caught. When the athlete pours the liquid and the bladder, is still quite attached to the walls of the bladder to contaminate the "clean" urine. Furthermore, the athlete is constantly kidneys filter the blood, and therefore the excretion of urine in the bladder,add another source of contamination.
CYCLING anabolic steroids and RETIREMENT
Anabolic steroids are a drug education. They are challenging and offer no benefit during or immediately before a competition. Most bodybuilders are careful to limit the use of steroids for the off-season. This ensures that the benefits of anabolic steroids can be exploited without the risk of being caught. One of the sports federations treated in this way is to have drug testing at random throughout theyear. But it is very expensive, and can be easily defeated.
Some athletes avoid random drug tests by training in other countries. Athletes who get homesick have another option, early retirement. Although this means a loss of funding, the athlete can still train on drugs, and then make a comeback. An athlete may, for example, to retire after the Olympic Games, taking drugs and train for the next three years, then came out of retirement in time to make the team for the next Olympics, has neverbeing drug tested.
Another method is to sports organizations in the fight against drug abuse in low season, is the ratio between testosterone epitestosterone. The drug test was considered very effective because it can detect the use of anabolic steroids, long after the drug was out of the system of athlete. Athletes, however, have developed an effective countermeasure against anabolic steroid tests of this type.
Testosterone, epitestosterone ratio was one of the mosteffective screening test available since 1982. Athletes, however, has discovered a simple countermeasure against which completely abandons this test. Since the use of anabolic steroids increases the ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone, as an athlete has to do is inject pure epitestosterone, and the ratio can again be reduced to 1:1. It is said that the contributions within an hour of testing a drug may produce a negative result.
As mentioned earlier, is not the exact time of disposalany particular steroid. Many factors influence the rate of excretion of steroids from the user's system. For example, if an athlete is the use of vitamins and / or mineral preparations, tanning pills, or even some forms of on-the-counter medicines, the ability of the liver to process steroids may be inhibited. Thus, a longer time for clearance may be necessary. These important factors as method of administration, the location of the injection site, the type of steroid used, duration of use, body fatlevel, amount of water in the body, and the dose used, all play an important role in determining the clearance time. There is a guaranteed method for athletes to undergo testing for anabolic steroids, obey the rules of competition, and to live without drugs.
