"Indeed, nandrolone- or norsteroid-spiked food could lead to the excretion of increased 19-NA or 19-NE9 metabolites in the urine of concerned subjects. The same applies to such delicacies as wild boar testes. However, the quantities needed to be ingested to give a positive doping control would be enormous (Le Bizec et al.2002), since a portion of these substances is excreted directly in faeces (Dimick et al. 1961). Moreover, androgens and norsteroids have a bitter taste due to their chemical structure and large quantities of these substances should be detected by the consumer.
