As far as how close you can take steroids to the test date, I know of one competitor who<br />

tested clean by stopping 11 days before the event. She determined this cutoff point by<br />

testing herself in the off season using a private lab. Once you are off steroids, there are<br />

still lots of anabolic drugs you can take that are not tested for, at least not yet.<br />

Synthroid (Flint), a synthetic T 4 thyroid acts as an anabolic in its unconverted state (T 4<br />

mostly converts to the more active T 3 ). A powerful anabolic recently studied is the beta<br />

andrenergic agonist CLIENBUTEROL, an asthma medication, one not on the IOC<br />

banned substances list, available as SPIROPENT by Thomae in West Germany and<br />

Monores or Clenasma in Italy. Clenbuterol increases the T 4 receptor sites in the muscle<br />

cell. Animal studies have shown a 400% increase over a 12 week period of the cross<br />

section of Type II (fast twitch) muscle cells. Protein content of the muscle was up 13%,<br />

and the overall fat content of the body decreased 20% because of increased brown fat<br />

thermogenesis.<br />

The estrogenic anabolic Zeranol, an isolate of resorcinol lactone has replaced many<br />

steroids in feed animals because it is considered a very safe anabolic. It is available<br />

commercially in Anwta as Ralgro cattle implant pellets and can be used by humans by<br />

grinding up the pellets and mixing the powder with injectable oil based vitamins. Dosage<br />

has been 3 (ground up) pellets per week. Zeranol is not on the IOC banned list.<br />

Athletes might want to try taking 1 gram of L-Dopa before bed to elevate GH output.<br />

Also, the high blood pressure medicine Catapres in a .3mg amount (orange tabs) taken<br />

before bed can elevate GH output. Catapres should not be taken by athletes with low<br />

blood pressure. Catapres works better than L-Dopa, which seems not to work at all for<br />

most athletes. It is not a banned substance.<br />

The new-to-America Co-enzyme B 12 (aka Dibencozide) is used throughout the world as<br />

a non-steroidal anabolic. It definitely gives a mood elevation to most people who use it,<br />

so may be very valuable to use while dieting and before a workout.<br />

As far as steroids that can be taken right up to a few days before contest time, there are<br />

definitely two which can be used, as these were the predominate ones used by the track<br />

athletes that DIDN'T get tested positive at the Olympics. They are both synthetic<br />

Dihydrotestosterones (DHT). DHT derivatives are attractive for a number of reasons.<br />

DHT converts to regular testosterone metabolites, which are not tested. It clears out of<br />

the body quite rapidly. It does not upset the testosterone/epiandosterone ratio which<br />

cannot max over 6 to 1. Regular short acting testosterones upset this balance. The two<br />

popular DHT derivatives used at the Seoul games were PESOMAX by Boniscontro<br />

(Spain), which is a fast acting steroid in the Androstanolone family (as are all DHT<br />

derivatives), and the more esoteric Furazabol marketed as MIOTOLON by Daiichi Labs<br />

in Tokyo, Japan. These compounds can be used up to 3 days before the event.<br />

Most competitors know that the blocking agent PROBENECID has been banned by the<br />

IFBB and NPC. However, the language of the IOC banned substances list reads<br />

'PROBENECID and related compounds'. If the phrase 'related compounds' is not written<br />

into the rules of the testing procedure for your sports organization, here are some related<br />

compounds which block steroids from being excreted in the urine: the generic<br />

Benzbromarone, trade named AZUBROMARON by Azupharma in West Germany and<br />
