Propecia May Soon Be Taken Off Banned List

Many sportsmen had no idea that they were not allowed to use it

There are rumours going around in the world of sport that the hair loss medication Propecia which is currently a banned drug for professional sportsman will be taken off the list and therefore will be allowed to be used. This has not happened yet and sportsmen should be aware that they could still get banned from their respective sports if they use it.

Just recently the cyclist Jose Antonio Pecharroman failed a random doping control test and despite the fact that he was almost certainly only taking the Propecia to try and regrow some of his thinning hair he may well have now suffered from a serious setback to his career. The Propecia hair loss drug does not actually improve performance for sportsmen but it has been known to function as a masking agent for other drugs and anabolic steroids. The fact is however that it is very possible to do other tests to prove that somebody is using anabolic steroids which will show up even if somebody is using the Propecia drug. It seems unfair that sportsmen are denied access to the world’s most effective hair loss medication just because some tests will be affected by it.

Ukmedix News is hoping that the announcement that Propecia is to be taken off the register of banned and prohibited substances for professional sportsman will come soon. Too many sportsmen have had to make a choice between regrowing their hair and risking their career and many of those sportsmen who were banned for using Propecia had no idea that they were not allowed to use it.

Propecia which is made by the drug company Merck is the simplest and easiest hair loss medication to use. With Propecia all you have to do is take a small pill once a day and unlike many hair loss medications you don’t have to rub anything on your scalp.
