| Androstanolone is almost identical to the
body's own dihydrotestosterone which, as we know, is formed by the
periph-eral conversion of testosterone. Some therefore call Androstanolone
a synthetic d1hydrotestosterone. This steroid has a predominantly
androgenic effect and, due to its structure, cannot be converted into
estrogen. For a fast buildup of power and muscle mass Androstanolone is of
little value. It used to be the athlete's favorite competition steroid
since it helped to obtain a harder muscle through a lower fat content by
increasing the androgen level without aro-matizing. Numerous athletes used
Androstanolone during work-outs for doping-tested championships since the
substance remains in the body for only a short time and the testosterone/epitestosterone
value is not influenced. Another positive characteristic is that the
injectable version is not liver-toxic. Today, however, Androstanolone is
rarely used by athletes. One reason for this is that almost all Eu-ropean
and American compounds are no longer commercially avail-able. The other
reason is that most athletes use the still readily avail-able Masteron
which has similar effects. Neither the original nor a fake of
Androstanolone is available on the black market.
