Can you do doping if you have a medical condition that can only be relieved by drugs classified as banned performance enhancers?

In the Puerto affair they found a powder that allow to fake EPO test, it's called "polvos de la madre Celestina" (poussi�res de la m�re C�lestine in french) : Small grains you put in your dicks before pissing, it's a protease that destroy the protein peptide bond like EPO.

How good are steroids.

Over 10 weeks :
Group 1 did NOT do any form of exercise, and did NOT receive any form of steroids or drugs. (Natural guys doing no weight training.)
Group 2 did NOT do any form of exercise, but they received weekly injections of 600 mg of testosterone enanthate. (Drug users doing no weight training.)
Group 3 DID exercise, but they did NOT receive any form of steroids or drugs. (Natural guys doing weight training.)
Group 4 DID exercise, and they also received weekly injections of 600 mg of testosterone enanthate. (Drug users doing weight training.)

Result :

Group 1 (no exercise, natural) experienced no significant changes. No surprise there.
Group 2 (no exercise, drug use) was able to build about 7 pounds of muscle. That�s not a typo. The group receiving testosterone injections and NOT working out at all gained 7 pounds of muscle.
Group 3 (exercise, natural) was able to build about 4 pounds of muscle.
Group 4 (exercise, drug use) was able to build about 13 pounds of muscle.

PED + No Training > hard training with no PED (and that's with "only" 600mg).

Here is an example of steroids cycle the pros use in body building these days (only sport it's almost openly talked about) :

ah yes, let's do GHB (Xyrem) to get a good night's sleep.

I don't know enough about it, but I think thats what they're hoping these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_androgen_receptor_modulator will do.

Is it possible to take small amounts of PEDs for minor benefits without really getting the side effects or long term damage? I've got a friend who put on a load of weight and decided to use I think just small amounts of testosterone when he started lifting to basically improve as fast as possible but wanted to avoid the worst problems associated with using steroids

yea, just chug aromatase inhibitors and clom if you don't want to end up female.

Steroids = anabolic steroids in this context. Steroids are just chemical compounds and all steroids are not anabolic steroids, therefore not all of them have an effect on the endcrine system. Jesus, are we really talking about hay fever remedies (corticosteroids) now?

FIFA has done about 1000 tests now, most of them before the tournament. No positives. Football is clean.

Yeah, getting caught with masking agents get you the same ban as is they had found something performance enhancing so I don't think anyone really bothers with those anymore. It's much safer to just dope out-of-competition in small enough doses that it passes through your system in a few hours and when you're sure you won't be tested like when you're in the middle of nowhere doing "altitude training".

Is finasteride use (anti-baldness drug) still a thing for masking nandrolone haha?
