Steroids performance-enhancing

In gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), the effluent from a gas chromatograph is passed into a mass spectrometer and a mass spectrum is taken every few milliseconds. Thus gas chromatography is used to separate a mixture, and mass spectrometry used to analyze it. GC/MS is a very powerful analytical technique. One of its more visible applications involves the testing of athletes for steroids, stimulants, and other performance-enhancing drugs. These drugs are converted in the body to derivatives called metabolites, which are then excreted in the... 

Synthetic steroids, especially estrogenic drugs, are used extensively in estrogen-replacement therapy and oral contraceptives, in veterinary medicine for growth enhancement, and in athletic performance enhancement. In general, large portions...

Although steroids can enhance performance they also can have a long-term effect of causing liver damage, hepatitis and possibly cancer.3... 

A related compound, androstenedionc is a precursor to testosterone and was marketed over the counter as an alternative to the illegal steroids to enhance strength and performance. Mark McGwire made Andro famous when he admitted to using it during his record-breaking home run streak in 1998. Because androstenedione was associated with many of the side effects of anabolic steroids, the FDA made it an illegal substance in 2004. 

Anti-doping scientists had suspected for years that underground chemists supply performance-enhancing substances to athletes compelled to cheat, including designer drugs made and used only to beat the test. This was proven when the anabolic steroid...

Even though these life-threatening side effects are well known, athletes continue to use anabolic steroids. The temptation must have been too great for Ben Johnson. After a period of suspension from amateur athletics, Johnson again entered competition. In March 1993, testing before a track meet revealed that he had used anabolic steroids to enhance his performance. As a result, he was forever banned from amateur competition. 

Anabolic steroids are performance enhancement drugs whose use has been banned from most major sporting activities. One anabolic steroid is fluoxymesterone (C2gH2gF03). Calculate the percent composition by mass of fluoxymesterone.

The performance enhancement characteristics of testosterone are the result of it being an anabohc steroid. Anabolic compounds, including steroids, promote the growth of body tissues such as bone and muscle. So, an athlete undergoing athletic training coupled with anabolic steroid use tends to build up muscle and bone tissue much more rapidly than an athlete training without the steroids. One downside for female athletes using testosterone in...
