Drostanolone (trade name Masteron) is an anabolic/androgenic steroid. It is known to be highly androgenic and mildly anabolic. It is incapable of aromatization and has similar properties to dihydrotestosterone. It has been successfully used as a breast cancer drug but because of the high risk of virilization safer options are prescribed.

Use in sports

Masteron is used primarily by athletes who need to retain strength while losing mass. It is beneficial to runners and athletes who must remain in a certain weight class. It has gained popularity in the bodybuilding community as a diuretic and muscle defining drug.

Trivia

Ultimate Fighting Championship athlete Hermes Franca tested positive for use of Drostanolone following his July 7th 2007 lightweight championship bout against title holder Sean Sherk.
