Colin Daynes, a Greco-Roman wrestler, was going to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. But his dreams will not be real. Administration of banned drugs caused this unpleasant case. This wrestler was caught using 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 forbidden 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 drug is usually administrated in combinations with several others to minimize water retention. Furosemide or Lasix belongs to the class of diuretics. Wrestlers use this drug as well as other diuretics to lose body weight to correspond to requirements of certain weight classes.
Colin Daynes admitted that he had taken anabolic steroids and other prohibited drugs intentionally. He noted that he had taken these medicines to get recovery from a partially-torn bicep and an elbow injury. But this wrestler added that he hadn’t known that these products were prohibited by the WADA. This wrestler blamed his doctor for this case. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic doctor who recommended him using these medicines. Colin Daynes noted that if he had known that the preparations were prohibited, he would not have competed.
Colin Daynes represented Canada at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. After he won the national trials in 2008 he intended to take part in the Beijing Olympics. But he didn’t take part in this Olympics because he couldn’t qualify at the international level. Recently this person 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 usage of forbidden products Colin Daynes has been sentenced to 2-year ban. It means that he is not permitted to compete till December 2012, when his athletic career ends too.
Colin Daynes reported that he had represented the native country proudly. He concluded that people could judge him, if they were able to do it after his 25-year successful career and everything he had done.
