Athletic Testing

Over the past decade, anabolic steroid abuse and the use of other performance-enhancing drugs has become a national concern. Androgenic-anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are banned by major amateur and professional sports authorities. They are classified as Schedule III controlled substances in the United States.

Quest Diagnostics steroid testing detects more than 20 different anabolic agents (and their metabolites) commonly used by bodybuilders, distance runners and other athletes.

Our steroid panels include testing for masking agents. In addition, our comprehensive sports testing panels test for other performance-enhancing drugs, including stimulants, narcotics, beta-blockers and diuretics that may be abused by athletes.
