Looks like athletes thought they had found an undetectable drug, but have been caught out. Looks bad.

TESTED POSITIVE
The Londoner is one of five athletes to have tested positive for THG and the third to have their B sample analysed by the IOC-accredited laboratory in Los Angeles.
The B tests on the others, who have not been named, also confirmed the initial findings, sources said. It is very rare for a B sample not to confirm the A.
The Olympic and professional sports world was shocked last month when the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency reported that a new undetectable steroid -- THG -- had been created that would allow elite athletes to pass doping tests.
Steroids are used to improve performance and help athletes recover faster from training.
THG has been tweaked by chemists to make it undetectable under normal testing methods.
The USADA discovered THG when an unnamed track and field coach provided it with the names of U.S. and international athletes who he said were using the steroid.
The coach gave USADA a used syringe that contained some of the substance.
The International Olympic Committee-accredited laboratory in Los Angeles identified the substance and developed a test for it.
Within days, details of the test were rolled out to all 30 IOC-accredited laboratories around the world.
The IAAF is due this month to re-test all samples taken during August's world championships. Their lead has been followed by FINA who said on Wednesday that all samples taken from July's world swimming championships would be re-tested.
