Epitestosterone is a natural steroid, chemically similar to testosterone.
Tests to determine the ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone in urine are used to find athletes who are blood doping. A normal healthy person has a ratio of about 1:1 testosterone to epitestosterone in their urine[1].
It was revealed on July 27, 2006 that Floyd Landis, winner of the 2006 Tour de France, had a testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in violation of the 4:1 limit imposed by the race organizers, suggesting blood doping.
