Arimistane itself was not observed in the free or glucuronated fractions, but only in the sulfate fraction. The peaks showing mass spectra in agreement with hydroxylated metabolites did not match with those for 7-keto-DHEA, 7α- or 7β-hydroxy-DHEA. This suggests that the first hydroxylation did not occur on C3, but on C2. These newly described metabolites allow the specific detection of arimistane misuse in sports.
