Where an anabolic androgenic steroid is capable of being produced endogenously,
a Sample will be deemed to contain such Prohibited Substance where the
concentration of such Prohibited Substance or its metabolites or markers and/or
any other relevant ratio(s) in the Athlete’s Sample so deviates from the range of
values normally found in humans that it is unlikely to be consistent with normal
endogenous production. A Sample shall not be deemed to contain a Prohibited
Substance in any such case where an Athlete proves that the concentration of the
Prohibited Substance or its metabolites or markers and/or the relevant ratio(s) in
the Athlete’s Sample is attributable to a physiological or pathological condition.
In all cases, and at any concentration, the Athlete’s sample will be deemed to
contain a Prohibited Substance and the laboratory will report an Adverse
Analytical Finding if, based on any reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS), the
laboratory can show that the Prohibited Substance is of exogenous origin. In such
case, no further investigation is necessary.
If a value in the range of levels normally found in humans is reported and the
reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) has not determined the exogenous origin of
the substance, but if there are indications, such as a comparison to endogenous
reference steroid profiles, of a possible Use of a Prohibited Substance, further
investigation shall be conducted by the relevant Anti-Doping Organization by
reviewing the results of any previous test(s) or by conducting subsequent test(s),
in order to determine whether the result is due to a physiological or pathological
condition, or has occurred as a consequence of the exogenous origin of a
Prohibited Substance.
The Prohibited List 2007

When a laboratory has reported a T/E ratio greater than four (4) to one (1) and
any reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) applied has not determined the
exogenous origin of the substance, further investigation may be conducted by a
review of previous tests or by conducting subsequent test(s), in order to
determine whether the result is due to a physiological or pathological condition, or
has occurred as a consequence of the exogenous origin of a Prohibited Substance.
If a laboratory reports, using an additional reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS),
that the Prohibited Substance is of exogenous origin, no further investigation is
necessary and the Sample will be deemed to contain such Prohibited Substance.
When an additional reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) has not been applied
and a minimum of three previous test results are not available, a longitudinal
profile of the Athlete shall be established by performing a minimum of three no
advance notice tests in a period of three months by the relevant Anti-Doping
Organization. If the longitudinal profile of the Athlete established by the
subsequent tests is not physiologically normal, the result shall be reported as an
Adverse Analytical Finding.
In extremely rare individual cases, boldenone of endogenous origin can be
consistently found at very low nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) levels in urine.
When such a very low concentration of boldenone is reported by a laboratory and
the application of any reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) has not determined
the exogenous origin of the substance, further investigation may be conducted by
subsequent tests. When an additional reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) has
not been applied, a longitudinal profile of the athlete shall be established by
performing a minimum of three no advance notice tests in a period of three
months by the relevant Anti-Doping Organization. If the longitudinal profile of the
Athlete established by the subsequent tests is not physiologically normal, the
result shall be reported as an Adverse Analytical Finding.
For 19-norandrosterone, an Adverse Analytical Finding reported by a laboratory is
considered to be scientific and valid proof of exogenous origin of the Prohibited
Substance. In such case, no further investigation is necessary.
Should an Athlete fail to cooperate in the investigations, the Athlete’s Sample
shall be deemed to contain a Prohibited Substance.
2. Other Anabolic Agents, including but not limited to:
Clenbuterol, tibolone, zeranol, zilpaterol.
For purposes of this section:
* “exogenous” refers to a substance which is not ordinarily capable of being
produced by the body naturally.
** “endogenous” refers to a substance which is capable of being produced by the
body naturally.

S2. HORMONES AND RELATED SUBSTANCES
The following substances, including other substances with a similar chemical
structure or similar biological effect(s), and their releasing factors, are prohibited:
1. Erythropoietin (EPO);
2. Growth Hormone (hGH), Insulin-like Growth Factors (e.g. IGF-1),
Mechano Growth Factors (MGFs);
3. Gonadotrophins (LH, hCG), prohibited in males only;
4. Insulin;
5. Corticotrophins.
Unless the Athlete can demonstrate that the concentration was due to a
physiological or pathological condition, a Sample will be deemed to contain a
Prohibited Substance (as listed above) where the concentration of the Prohibited
Substance or its metabolites and/or relevant ratios or markers in the Athlete’s
Sample so exceeds the range of values normally found in humans that it is
unlikely to be consistent with normal endogenous production.
If a laboratory reports, using a reliable analytical method, that the Prohibited
Substance is of exogenous origin, the Sample will be deemed to contain a
Prohibited Substance and shall be reported as an Adverse Analytical Finding.
The presence of other substances with a similar chemical structure or similar
biological effect(s), diagnostic marker(s) or releasing factors of a hormone listed
above or of any other finding which indicate(s) that the substance detected is of
exogenous origin, will be deemed to reflect the use of a Prohibited Substance and
shall be reported as an Adverse Analytical Finding.
S3. BETA-2 AGONISTS
All beta-2 agonists including their D- and L-isomers are prohibited.
As an exception, formoterol, salbutamol, salmeterol and terbutaline when
administered by inhalation, require an abbreviated Therapeutic Use Exemption.
Despite the granting of any form of Therapeutic Use Exemption, a concentration
of salbutamol (free plus glucuronide) greater than 1000 ng/mL will be considered
an Adverse Analytical Finding unless the Athlete proves that the abnormal result
was the consequence of the therapeutic use of inhaled salbutamol.
