Steroidal Athlete Biological Passport
Endocrine Pharmacology and Anti-Doping Considerations
Steroidal Athlete Biological Passport
The steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport evaluates longitudinal steroid-profile information to support detection of prohibited manipulation.
Therapeutic effects and feedback
Endocrine medicines can replace deficient signals, activate or block receptors, or change hormone synthesis and metabolism. Physiological replacement differs from supraphysiological exposure. Dose, route, duration, comorbidities and feedback suppression influence both benefit and harm.
A distinction that matters
Atypical patterns trigger expert evaluation and possible further analysis; one unusual measurement alone is not equivalent to a confirmed doping violation.
Clinical and sporting context
Legitimate treatment and anti-doping eligibility are separate questions. The current prohibited list, route-specific rules and applicable TUE process must be checked through official sources. Mechanistic descriptions should not be used to design unsupervised performance-enhancing drug protocols.
