Reasons for the Ban on Clomiphene
Clomiphene is prohibited in sports primarily because of its potential to boost egg production in hens. As a result, athletes might unknowingly ingest this substance through contaminated food sources. Research conducted by WADA highlighted that clomiphene used in laying hens can transfer into their eggs. However, they have developed a technique to differentiate between egg consumption and doping behavior.
