New discoveries advance ability to detect hCG doping in sport
Important new peer-reviewed research conducted by Getachew A. Woldemariam and Dr. Anthony W. Butch may help increase the ability to detect athletes who are taking human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) as a doping substance to enhance athletic performance. The research, which was published in the August issue of Clinical Chemistry, was funded by the Partnership for Clean Competition (PCC) in order to further advance the ability to detect the use of hCG, which stimulates testosterone production and is a banned substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency list.
