- Abstract
Though the recent scandal involving tetrahydrogestrinone, a previously undetectable steroid, is an explosive development in competitive sports, some physicians who are monitor doping trends see some promising signs. Several media outlets have reported on wide-ranging drug and financial investigations that were launched after a track coach anonymously sent a syringe containing a purported new "designer steroid" to the United States AntiDoping Agency. Gary I. Wadler, MD, a doping expert and associate professor of clinical medicine at New York University School of medicine in Manhasset, New York said he hopes that new laws and sanctions against anabolic steroids and other drugs will lead to behavior changes that make doping as socially unacceptable as drinking and driving.
