Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 3122626, member: 1978"] If I am reading the below correctly I think it means he may have taken only 1 drug and the other substances possibly are in his system because of the that 1 drug. He is still a dirty drug cheat but it is a far cry from the cocktail of drugs that Kent, Hooper and co. have been telling us about. Then again, I may be reading it incorrectly. [SIZE=18px][B]The substances found in Bronson Xerri's A-sample[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][B]Testosterone[/B]: Produced naturally by the body and helps build muscle and bone mass. Synthetic forms can be injected, applied in cream form or taken orally. [*][B]Androstenedione[/B]: A steroid hormone used to increase the production of the testosterone in an effort to enhance athletic performance. [*][B]Etiocholanolone[/B]: Similar to Androstenedione, in that it is another principal metabolite for testosterone. [*][B]5b-androstane-3a, 17b-diol:[/B] Found in urine samples collected for anti-doping purposes, where someone has moderately elevated testosterone and epitestosterone. [*][I]Generally speaking, the bottom three drugs are all byproducts of elevated levels of testosterone, which has been found in Xerri's samples. How added testosterone got into his system to produce these results, and whether he was aware, is still unknown.[/I] [/LIST] [B][URL='https://www.smh.com.au/topic/nrl-2020-1n9q']NRL 2020[/URL][/B] [SIZE=18px][B][URL='https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/ben-johnson-bad-xerri-s-cocktail-of-performance-enhancing-drugs-20200526-p54wne.html']'Ben Johnson bad': Xerri's cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs[/URL][/B][/SIZE] Add to shortlist International doping expert Catherine Ordway said Xerri now had two options, to admit or deny that he had involvement in his positive readings. "He can say, 'my coach sold this to me' or 'I got it from another player' and dob someone else in so to speak. If he can provide evidence he may be eligible for a reduced sanction," Ordway said. "It's very rare for a B sample not to return the same result of an A. It can happen but it is rare." Ordway said a possible reason for the delay between testing and the notification from ASADA was the types of drugs found in Xerri's system. Being testosterone-based, she said ASADA would have had to take multiple tests across a period of time to find Xerri's normal level of testosterone and to see, if at some stage, there had been an unnatural spike.
