The Greco-Roman wrestler Colin Daynes hoped to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. Unfortunately, his dreams will not be real. Administration of prohibited preparations caused this unpleasant case. This wrestler was caught taking steroids, diuretics and a selective estrogen receptor modulator.
Earlier this wrestler won the 74 kg division at the Canadian Wrestling Qualification Trials.
The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports proclaimed that Colin Daynes had tested positive for such banned preparations, as boldenone, drostanolone, furosemide and tamoxifen. Boldenone and drostanolone belong to anabolic steroids which are better known under their trade names: Equipose and Masteron. As for Tamoxifen, it is known as Nolvadex. This preparation is usually used in combinations with certain others to minimize fluid retention. Furosemide or Lasix belongs to the class of diuretics. Wrestlers take this medication as well as other diuretics to lose body weight to correspond to requirements of certain weight categories.
Colin Daynes acknowledged that he had used anabolic steroids and other prohibited drugs intentionally. This wrestler noted that he had administrated these medicines to receive recovery from a partially-torn bicep and an elbow injury. But Colin Daynes added that he hadn’t known that these products were prohibited by the WADA. Colin Daynes blamed his health care provider for this factor. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic doctor who recommended him using these medicines. Colin Daynes noted that if he had known that the drugs were forbidden, he would not have competed.
The Greco-Roman wrestler represented Canada at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. After he won the national trials in 2008 he desired to compete at the Beijing Olympics. But he didn’t take part in this Olympics because he couldn’t qualify internationally. Recently this wrestler won the Canadian Wrestling Qualifying Trials in December, 2011, and had to secure his allowance for the 2012 London Olympics through the competition at the Pan American Wrestling Championship.
But due to usage of prohibited preparations Colin Daynes has been sentenced to 2-year ban. It means that he is not permitted to compete till December 2012, when his athletic career ends as well.
Colin Daynes confirmed that he had represented the native country proudly. He concluded that people could judge him, if they were able to do it after his 25-year successful career and everything he had done.
