Abstract	Gynaecomastia is a common and well-recognised side-effect of anabolic steroid abuse in athletes. A staging system is proposed and a technique of excision under local anaesthetic described. Careful selection of cases and the use of meticulous technique can achieve good cosmetic results, without risk of recurrence of gynaecomastia.
