Norandrosterone is an anabolic agent ingested through the body via an injection. Norandrosterone is related to nandrolone and is often used in nutritional supplements. Testing agencies usually look for norandrosterone to detect nandrolone usage. It is banned because it helps athletes increase their strength and muscle mass, especially when taken in large quantities. This is considered to offer an unfair advantage over those athletes who don't use performance-enhancing drugs. This metabolite of nandrolone was first identified in WADA lists and urinary threshold guidance from 2004.
