[Side-effects and doping control of anabolic steroids]
[Article in Danish]

We present a case of a 26 year-old male body-builder who had used the anabolic
steroids (AS) trenbolone and stanozolol for 10 weeks. After four weeks
creatine-kinase (CK) including CK-B (cardiac specific isoenzymes) levels were
elevated five to ten times. He was without cardiac symptoms and
electrocardiography was normal. Three weeks after he stopped using AS, CK and
CK-B levels had normalized. One of the drugs, stanozolol could not be detected by
the doping-control, maybe because of a fast excretion time. Sale, use and
delivery of AS is prohibited in Denmark, but is used in spite of the prohibition.
It is important to spread knowledge about the risks of AS among the users.
