A sensitive and rapid liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the simultaneous determination of testosterone (T) and epitestosterone (E) in human urine samples has been developed and elaborated. The ratio of the both steroids (T/E) in human urine is a widely

The testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio was implemented as an indirect parameter for the detection of testosterone administration with an empirically established threshold value at T/E = 6. In 2005, the T/E reporting threshold was lowered from six to four. Between 2005

The screening of testosterone misuse in the doping control field is normally performed by the measurement of the ratio between the concentrations of testosterone and epitestosterone excreted as glucuronides (T/E). Despite the satisfactory results obtained with this approach, the measurement
