Colin Daynes, a Greco-Roman wrestler, intended to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. Unluckily, his dreams will not be real. Usage of banned preparations caused this unpleasant case. 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.
According to the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports, Colin Daynes tested positive for such forbidden medicines, as boldenone, drostanolone, furosemide and tamoxifen. Boldenone and drostanolone belong to 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 stacks with certain others to reduce water retention. Furosemide or Lasix belongs to the class of diuretics. Wrestlers take this product as well as other diuretics to lose body weight in order to correspond to requirements of certain weight categories.
Colin Daynes acknowledged that he had administrated anabolic steroids and other prohibited products intentionally. This wrestler said that he had used 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 drugs were prohibited by the WADA. This wrestler blamed his doctor for this factor. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic physician that advised him taking these products. Colin Daynes noted that if he had known that the drugs were banned, 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 participate 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 intake of banned medicines this wrestler has received 2-year ban. It means that this wrestler is not allowed 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 the successful career of 25 years and everything he had done.
