Then I would stand corrected
was going by toxicology report stating femoral blood as the sample, but that is for specimen 40671529,
but does look like the steroid panel is specimen 40671530, likely a urine panel? says it was revised to add but then doesn't label it on the actual page not very clear
so, cruising on 200mg test?? lol
It is hard to tell by the report, but nowhere does it mention using a urine sample. Chances are it was drawn but may not have been used. Even if by some miracle he was only cruising on 200 mg/wk then it means nothing because he was obviously on a great deal more than that to have the organ growth he had and the advanced atherosclerosis. The T/epi ratio was off the charts anyhow, so that would indicate high levels in the blood.
"Most men have a ratio of T to E of 1:1, which means normal men have equal amounts of T and E in their blood. There is some normal ethnic and time of day variation in the normal T/E ratio (as low as 0.7:1 and as high as 1.3:1).
Statistics reveal that a ratio of up to 3.7:1 will capture 95 percent of all normal men, and a ratio of up to 5:1 will capture greater than 99 percent of all men. That’s why the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) allows up to 4:1 (so its test is at least 95 percent accurate) and the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the NCAA and some others allow up to 6:1 (for 99 percent accuracy). The whole goal is to not label someone a cheater when he or she isn’t. (Very, very rarely, some people are just freakishly high, but they have a ratio of less than 6:1)."
Dallas had a value of 130!!!
