Summary
The misuse of cortisone or hydrocortisone for doping purpose in sport has been widely
reported in the literature, but to date, no formal testing procedure is available and
applicable in an anti-doping laboratory to detect hydrocortisone doping abuse , i.e.,
administration by systemic way.
The investigators therefore propose to identify biomarkers that clearly distinguish between
an authorized local administration of hydrocortisone and a prohibited systemic
administration, by studying the impact of 5-day administration of hydrocortisone per 2
different routes.
