Highly sophisticated designer sport steroid discovered

A SECOND fortuitous discovery of a designer steroid manufactured specifically to fool the dope testers confirms the worst fears of the anti-doping authorities.

After several elite track athletes were banned for using THG (tetrahydrogestrinone), scientists have now discovered another previously undetectable substance called desoxy-methyl-testosterone (DMT).

The announcement yesterday by World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) scientific director Olivier Rabin serves only to endorse the boast of Victor Conte, head of the BALCO laboratory, which federal investigators believe manufactured and distributed THG.
