Top Olympic weightlifters were banned for usage of non-steroidal drugs

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