Top Olympic weightlifters tested positive for HGH and furosemide

The top Olympic weightlifters Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert were banned from “Average Broz’s Gymnasium” (Las Vegas, Nevada). They tested positive for forbidden medications. Steroids were not the medicines administered by these athletes. They administered non-steroidal drugs which are also banned under Code of the WADA.
Patrick Mendes tested positive for prohibited preparations in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting set who would represent the US at the 2012 London Olympics. The weightlifter tested for HGH; as a result, he was sentenced to a suspension.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic medicine furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a drug which is applied by those that administer steroids in order to mask steroid use. Moreover, this preparation helps athletes to lose weight in order to correspond to certain weight classes.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports that divide competitors to weight categories.
HGH and furosemide are drugs which are prohibited by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The anti-doping system of the IWF meets criteria of the WADA Code.
Mendes and Gilbert were trained by John Broz. Broz lived and trained with the famous Bulgarian weightlifter Antonio Krastev during his career. Krastev broke a world record snatch of 216 kg in 1987. John Broz studied the Bulgarian system of trainings and brought certain methods to America. He founded own training facilities in Las Vegas.
Mendes went to 2-year suspension. As for Gilbert, he was suspended for 3 years.
The bans of these sportsmen are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. So, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their native country at the 2012 Olympic Games.
