The Greco-Roman wrestler Colin Daynes wanted to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. Unluckily, his dreams will not be real. Intake of controlled substances became a reason for it. Colin Daynes 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 banned medications, as boldenone, drostanolone, furosemide and tamoxifen. Boldenone and drostanolone are anabolic steroids which 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 combinations with some others in order to reduce fluid retention. Furosemide or Lasix belongs to the class of diuretics. 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 admitted that he had used anabolic steroids and other banned drugs intentionally. He noted that he had administrated these medicines to get recovery from a partially-torn bicep and an elbow injury. But he added that he hadn’t known that these drugs were forbidden by the WADA. Daynes blamed his prescriber for this factor. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic physician that recommended him using these drugs. Colin Daynes noticed that if he had known that the preparations were prohibited, 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 desired to participate in the Beijing Olympics. But he didn’t participate in this Olympics because he couldn’t qualify internationally. Recently this person 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 intake of prohibited medications this wrestler has been sentenced to 2-year ban. It means that he is not allowed to compete till December 2012, when his athletic career ends too.
Colin Daynes confirmed 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.
