The Montreal Canadiens announced Thursday that goaltender Jose Theodore tested positive for a substance on the WADA banned substance list.
Head Team Physician, Dr. David Mulder, discussed details of the test.
Theodore tested positive for the hair restoration drug,Propecia, which is not an anabolic steroid but does act as a masking agent. Mulder stated that Theodore has been using the product for "eight to nine years."
"He's been taking it on the advice of a dermatologist," Mulder told the assembled media. "And he has had very good success and he feels it has helped hair growth and prevented further loss and he has taken it with my knowledge."
Mulder went on to say that Propecia, on its own, does not have any performance-enhancing attributes; it simply grows hair. According to Mulder, Propecia will stay in one's system for more than 30 days.
"Jose was unaware, until recently, that Propecia was a banned substance," said Mulder.
''I always like my hair real long and I like to keep it long as long as possible,'' said Theodore, who served as backup in a 3-2 win over Buffalo Thursday as Cristobal Huet made his fifth consecutive start.
''I don't feel I have anything to hide,'' Theodore said. ''It's not something that I got on the black market. It was a prescription from the doctor for eight years, so I don't feel uncomfortable by anything.''
This type of issue is front and centre at the Olympics in Turin today.
U.S. skeleton racer Zach Lund of Salt Lake City, a potential gold medal favorite, was in an arbitration hearing today to determine his Olympic eligibility because of a failed test that turned up the same "masking agent" that is associated with hair loss products. Lund said the positive test was because he was taking the product for hair loss. A ruling on his eligibility for the Olympics is expected by the end of the week.
On Wednesday, Monaco bobsledder Sebastien Gattuso was suspended over a positive test for a hair-restoration drug banned because of its steroid-masking properties.
Monaco's anti-doping committee suspended Sebastien Gattuso for six months after he tested positive in October for finasteride.

What mechanism could finasteride use to "mask" AAS?

well since it is a 5ar blocker it would increase test levels. If you claimed to be using it to explain increased test levels as apposed to boosting those levels with im test. They probably bann ai's for the same reason.

Yeah but she is a kid a skinny one at that--I digress LOL
JB,
One could argue that the increase of T would be so small it would have zero anabolic effect and if it did then one could easily say that E would rise and or free T would rise only to find a steady state again. So if it did raise the level then it would be temporary at best.

If I had to guess, I would think that they are saying this because it lowers the amount of 5-alpha reduced metabolites, and said metabolites may in some cases be the key indicators of the use of certain steroids.

If you take any medication Rx or otc, yyou will probably be banned at the olympics, that includes a second cup of coffee with your morning oatmeal and egg whites.
liftsiron is a fictional character and should be taken as such.

bill, studies have shown that low dose clomid can increase baseline test by a significant amount, you don't think the usoc is aware of this and would want to stop the use of these substances for this reason?

JB, would a SERM take above normal levels by itself?
