A Greco-Roman wrestler, Colin Daynes, hoped to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. But his dreams will not be real. Usage of banned preparations became a reason for it. This wrestler was caught taking steroids, diuretics and a selective estrogen receptor modulator.
Earlier Colin Daynes 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 drugs, as boldenone, drostanolone, furosemide and tamoxifen. Boldenone and drostanolone belong to anabolic steroids that are better known under their trade names: Equipose and Masteron. As for Tamoxifen, it is known as Nolvadex. This drug is usually administrated in stacks with some others in order to minimize water retention. Furosemide or Lasix is a diuretic. Wrestlers use 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 medicines intentionally. This wrestler noticed that he had administrated these drugs to receive recovery from a partially-torn bicep and an elbow injury. But he added that he hadn’t known that these drugs were prohibited by the WADA. Colin Daynes blamed his physician for this aspect. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic physician that advised him using these drugs. Colin Daynes noticed that if he had known that the medications were prohibited, he would not have competed.
This wrestler represented Canada at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. After he won the national trials in 2008 he desired to take part in 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 was scheduled to secure his allowance for the 2012 London Olympics through the competition at the Pan American Wrestling Championship.
But due to usage of forbidden drugs this wrestler has received 2-year ban. It means that he is not permitted to compete till December 2012, when his athletic career ends too.
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 his 25-year successful career and everything he had done.
