Promising pharmaceutical agents emerge as sports doping products

(Wiley-Blackwell) Researchers from the German Sport University Cologne in Germany found that non-steroidal and tissue-selective anabolic agents such as Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are being sold on the black market for their performance enhancing qualities.

The availability of authentic SARMs was recently demonstrated for the first time by the detection of the drug candidate Andarine in a product sold via the Internet.

Full findings of the study appear in the latest issue of Drug Testing and Analysis published by Wiley-Blackwell.
