Drugs & Sport Don’t Mix!!

The latest case involving drugs is from a wrestler from Vancouver who received a ban; which was made official from the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport.

I did post this a short while back, but some Athlete’s simply fail to understand. Not just drugs in sport, but the use of chewing tobacco that can cause long term injury to the sports athlete as well.

They announced that wrestler Colin Daynes has received a two-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation.

The violation occurred during in-competition doping control at the Canadian Wrestling Qualification Trials on December 18, 2011 and resulted from the athlete’s urine sample returning an adverse analytical finding for boldenone, drostanolone, furosemide, and tamoxifen.

Within the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List, boldenone and drostanolone are anabolic steroids, furosemide is a diuretic, and tamoxifen is an estrogen receptor modulator which is generally used to mitigate the physical side effects of steroid use.

In response to the CCES’ notification of the adverse analytical finding, Daynes waived his right to a hearing, acknowledged the anti-doping rule violation, and accepted a two-year sanction ending December 18, 2013.

The athlete is ineligible to participate in any capacity with any sport signatory to the CADP, including training with teammates.
