Colin Daynes admitted that he had taken forbidden preparations intentionally

A Greco-Roman wrestler, Colin Daynes, wanted to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. Unluckily, his dreams will not be real. Administration of prohibited 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 proclaimed that Colin Daynes had tested positive for such prohibited medicines, as boldenone, drostanolone, furosemide and tamoxifen. Boldenone and drostanolone belong to anabolic steroids which are better known under their trade names: Equipose and Masteron. As for Tamoxifen, it is known as Nolvadex. This medication is usually taken together with some others in order to minimize water retention. Furosemide or Lasix is a diuretic. Wrestlers administrate 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 taken anabolic steroids and other banned preparations intentionally. He said that he had taken these drugs 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 forbidden by the WADA. Daynes blamed his prescriber for this aspect. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic physician who recommended him taking these medicines. The wrestler noticed that if he had known that the medications 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 was going 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 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 usage of prohibited preparations this wrestler 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 confirmed 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.
