Table 2

Steroid profile data of six doping control urine specimens collected in the course of a world championship tournament. Atypical results are shown in bold. Due to the broad working range and the extremely elevated concentrations of, for example, etiocholanolone (E), the concentrations listed below are to be considered as semiquantitative estimates
