New steroid may be rife in US

A previously undetected steroid has been identified and a new test indicates that as many as half a dozen athletes in track and field have recently used it, according to US drug-testing officials.
That is considered a significant number of athletes from one country in a single sport, and would constitute the biggest drug scandal to hit track and field since the Canadian Ben Johnson was stripped of his gold medal for the 100 metres at the 1988 Olympics after testing positive for a steroid.
"I know of no other drug bust that is larger than this," said Terry Madden, chief executive of the US Anti-Doping Agency, which conducts drug testing for Olympic-related sports.
