    Drug of the Year: Methylhexanamine

    Methylhexanamine (or 4-methylhexan-2-amine for those preferring its IUPAC name) is a stimulant that was only added to the WADA list in 2009. It was developed as an ingredient of nasal decongestants, and has since become a component of certain supplements (as we’ll see later), and was also used as a recreational drug in New Zealand, until it was implicated in a few serious illnesses (strokes, severe headaches and nausea) and banned.

    But for our context, it is the role of methylhexanamine in sport that leads to its controversy. Having been placed on the banned list in 2009, it did not take long to “claim” some fairly high profile athletes. A group of Jamaican sprinters tested positive, but were cleared after confusion over the status of the drug. They were later sanctioned because the drug resembles another which is on the banned list (this confusion around the banned status of the drug comes up often, as you’ll see).

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    Methylhexaneamine was placed on the WADA Prohibited List in 2010 and is classed as a Non Specified Stimulant prohibited in-competition only. Sanctions involving this substance start at two-years.

    Methylhexaneamine C7H17N was originally intended to be used as a nasal decongestant but in recent times it has found its way into dietary supplements marketed with thermogenic or stimulant properties. It can certainly be a tricky substance to locate in the ‘ingredients’ section of over the counter (OTC) energy products and while it is banned in sport, it is still legal in dietary supplements – making it even more tricky to monitor…but as ASADA states

      Carter's "B" sample tests positive

      Methylhexanamine has been on the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) Code prohibited list since 2004 although it was reclassified on the 2011 list as a "specified substance".

      "It's now a matter of the next steps relating to the hearing," said one of the sources who spoke on condition of not being named.

          What do the rules say? Does it name the drug or is there language concerning related drugs through chemical composition?

            I believe it does both and thats going by the articles , but the question to me is the classification of the drug (stimulant or non specified stimualnt) year and penalties to be appropriated for such classification ?

            That is hazy !
