A 32-year-old male went to the police to claim he just killed his girlfriend by inflicting several stabs with a kitchen knife. He was very nervous and particularly aggressive. About 90 min after the assault, a blood specimen was collected with natrium fluoride as preservative. The blood was free of alcohol, pharmaceuticals and drugs of abuse, but tested positive by LC-MS/MS for metandienone (32 ng/mL) and trenbolone (9 ng/mL). The perpetrator admitted regular consumption of anabolic steroids to enhance his muscular mass, as he was a professional security agent. To document long-term steroid abuse, a hair specimen was collected 3 weeks after the assault, which tested positive for both drugs. Segmental analyses revealed in the proximal 1.5 cm segment, corresponding to the period of the assault, the simultaneous presence of metandienone (11 pg/mg) and trenbolone (14 pg/mg), while only metandienone (3 pg/mg) was identified in the distal 1.5 cm segment. As aggressiveness and violence can be associated with abuse of anabolic steroids, the aetiology of this domestic crime was listed to be due impulsive behaviour in a context of antisocial lifestyle.
一名 32 岁男性到警局报案，称他用厨房刀捅了女友数刀。他非常紧张，而且极具攻击性。袭击发生约 90 分钟后，采集了含有氟化物作为防腐剂的血样。血样中未检出酒精、药物和滥用药物，但通过 LC-MS/MS 检测到甲睾酮（32ng/mL）和群勃龙（9ng/mL）呈阳性。犯罪人承认经常使用合成代谢类固醇来增强肌肉质量，因为他是一名职业保安。为了记录长期使用类固醇的情况，在袭击发生 3 周后采集了头发样本，结果显示两种药物均呈阳性。分段分析显示，在近端 1.5 厘米的部分，同时存在甲睾酮（11pg/mg）和群勃龙（14pg/mg），而在远端 1.5 厘米的部分仅检测到甲睾酮（3pg/mg）。由于攻击性和暴力行为可能与滥用合成代谢类固醇有关，因此将这起家庭犯罪的病因列为在反社会生活方式背景下的冲动行为。
