The Greco-Roman wrestler Colin Daynes wanted to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. Unfortunately, his dreams will not be real. Administration of banned drugs caused this unpleasant case. 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 proclaimed that Colin Daynes had tested positive for such banned preparations, as boldenone, drostanolone, furosemide and tamoxifen. Boldenone and drostanolone are anabolic steroids that are better known under their trade names: Equipose and Masteron. When it comes to Tamoxifen, it is known as Nolvadex. This medicine is usually administrated in combinations with certain others to minimize fluid retention. Furosemide or Lasix is a diuretic. Wrestlers take this medicine as well as other diuretics to lose body weight in order to correspond to requirements of certain weight classes.
Colin Daynes acknowledged that he had used anabolic steroids and other prohibited preparations intentionally. This wrestler noticed that he had administrated these products to get recovery from a partially-torn bicep and an elbow injury. But this wrestler added that he hadn’t known that these preparations were forbidden by the WADA. Daynes blamed his doctor for this factor. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic physician who recommended him taking these products. 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 intended to compete at the Beijing Olympics. But he didn’t participate in this Olympics because he couldn’t qualify at the international level. Recently he 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 administration of prohibited medications Colin Daynes has received 2-year ban. It means that colin Daynes is not permitted to compete till December 2012, when his athletic career ends as well.
Colin Daynes reported that he had represented the native country proudly. He concluded that people could judge him, if they wanted to do it after his 25-year successful career and everything he had done.
