A Greco-Roman wrestler, Colin Daynes, wanted to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. Unluckily, his dreams will not be real. Doping became a reason for it. Colin Daynes was caught using 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 reported that Colin Daynes had tested positive for such banned medicines, as boldenone, drostanolone, furosemide and tamoxifen. Boldenone and drostanolone are anabolic steroids which are better known under their trade names: Equipose and Masteron. As for Tamoxifen, it is known as Nolvadex. This medicine is usually used in stacks with several others in order to minimize water retention. Furosemide or Lasix belongs to the class of diuretics. Wrestlers take this preparation as well as other diuretics to lose body weight in order to correspond to requirements of certain weight classes.
Colin Daynes admitted that he had taken anabolic steroids and other banned medicines intentionally. This wrestler noticed that he had taken these products to receive recovery from a partially-torn bicep and an elbow injury. But this wrestler added that he hadn’t known that these drugs were banned by the WADA. This wrestler blamed his health care provider for this case. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic physician who recommended him using these medicines. The wrestler noted that if he had known that the preparations were banned, he would not have competed.
This wrestler represented Canada at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. After he won the national trials in 2008 he was going to compete at the Beijing Olympics. But he didn’t participate in this Olympics because he couldn’t qualify internationally. Recently this person won the Canadian Wrestling Qualifying Trials in December, 2011, and was scheduled to secure his allowance for the 2012 London Olympics through the competition at the Pan American Wrestling Championship.
But due to administration of banned medicines Colin Daynes has received 2-year ban. It means that colin Daynes is not allowed to compete till December 2012, when his athletic career ends as well.
Colin Daynes claimed that he had represented the native country proudly. He concluded that people could judge him, if they wanted to do it after the successful career of 25 years and everything he had done.
