                             two bodybuilders revealed the presence of methenolone at the concentration
                             of 7.3 and 8.8 pg/mg. Figure 3.4 shows the MS/MS-single reaction monitoring
                             (SRM) mass chromatograms of a 100-mg hair specimen of one of the body-
                             builders, revealing the presence of methenolone.
