In doping control analysis, the characterization of urinary steroid metabolites is of high interest for a targeted and long‐term detection of prohibited anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS). In this work, the structure of a long‐term metabolite of dehydrochloromethyltestosterone (DHCMT) was elucidated. Altogether, 8 possible metabolites with a 17α‐methyl‐17β‐hydroxymethyl – structures were synthesized and compared to a major DHCMT long‐term metabolite detected in reference urine excretion samples. The confirmed structure of the metabolite was 4α‐chloro‐18‐nor‐17β‐hydroxymethyl‐17α‐methyl‐5α‐androst‐13‐en‐3α‐ol.
