The Pentagon has temporarily rescinded the mandatory testosterone-screening guidance it issued just a day earlier, removing the document from its website while saying interim guidance remains in effect.

Posted Wednesday by the Defense Health Agency, the clinical guidance had made a testosterone blood test a required part of the annual health assessment for service members. But by Thursday, the memo and an accompanying statement from Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell had been taken down. Links to both the Pentagon and Defense Health Agency websites returned a “Page Not Found” message.
