New Designer Steroid found in SyringeA previously unknown designer steroid in a syringe has been identified as Tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) by researchers from the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory in Los Angeles.

After the discovery of this new designer steroid, steps have already been taken to proceed with the development of an accurate urine detection test to identify its usage in the future.

The previously undetectable anabolic steroid in a spent syringe was anonymously provided to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). This led to a study by Don Catlin, who was able to detect an unfamiliar substance and following it by founding its chemical formula.

From News-Medical.Net:

Urine samples were purposely spiked with the newly identified THG and various analyses carried out to determine how the substance could be detected. Although it is not detectable by standard doping control screening, THG was found to be easily detectable by alternate methods. Once detection methods were established, the substance was administered to a baboon both intravenously and intramuscularly, and its excreted urine collected for analysis. It was determined that THG is detectable in urine after both IV and IM administration.

The designer drug identified in this study is different from anabolic steroids previously found in athletes‘ urine samples. The Food and Drug Administration has warned that its use could pose health risks, and it cannot be legally marketed without approval.

Lead researcher Catlin attributes this discovery to the provision of crucial inside information, and believes it to be a valuable contribution to doping control. He says, “Now that there’s a test for THG, anyone using it can get caught, and it’s unlikely to be found again in an athlete’s urine sample.”

The FDA has warned about serious health consequences from its usage and has said that it cannot be legally marketed without its approval.
