Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone: A Controversial Performance Enhancer
Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone, known as Turinabol, is an anabolic steroid that gained fame for its performance-enhancing abilities. Developed in East Germany in the 1960s, it was used in a doping program for athletic success. It is a methandienone derivative with a chlorine atom that reduces androgenic effects while boosting muscle growth and strength. This makes it popular among athletes wanting performance improvement without bulk gain. However, it carries risks like liver toxicity and cardiovascular issues, leading to bans in sports, yet it is still used illicitly in bodybuilding.
