In 1986, the Medical Commission of the IOC defined doping as the use of pharmacological substances belonging to disallowed groups of active substances (stimulants, narcotics, anabolic steroids, beta-blockers, diuretics). With certain restrictions, this applies also to alcohol, local anesthetics and corticosteroids. The use of disallowed methods (blood doping, manipulation of a urine sample) is also forbidden. These days the greatest importance is attached to anabolic steroids (including testosterone), since these substances--discontinued in good time--cannot be detected on the day of competition but still have a promoting effect on performance. Competitive sports prepared the way here for the use of anabolic steroids in general athletics and in particular usually non-olympic sports (such as bodybuilding). Against this background, effects, adverse effects and the risks of anabolic steroid use are discussed. The aim must be to prevent the use of doping, especially in uncontrollable general sports, by promoting proper awareness.

Azoospermia, defined as the absence of sperm in the ejaculate, is a well-documented consequence of exogenous testosterone (ET) and anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) use. These agents suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, leading to reduced intratesticular testosterone levels and impaired spermatogenesis. This review examines the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying azoospermia and outlines therapeutic strategies for recovery.

Background: Distal triceps tendon injuries are relatively rare injuries, often occurring in highly active patients with physically demanding jobs or lifestyles. Information on return to work, sport, and activity is essential for patient education and counseling after a distal triceps tendon rupture.
Purpose: To determine the rates of return to work, sport, and sport-related activity after distal triceps tendon repair.
Corrigendum: Development and validation of dependence and craving measures specific to athletes who use anabolic-androgenic steroids.

Purpose: This study examined the effect of resistance training (RT) by itself and in combination with supraphysiological administration of nandrolone decanoate (ND) on the inflammatory, apoptotic, and oxidative stress response in cardiac tissue. The effect of the training and androgen intervention on adiponectin expression, a potential cardio protectant was also examined.
Methods: Forty male C57Bl/6J mice, 3 months of age were randomized into four groups (n = 10 per group).
