Colin Daynes, a Greco-Roman wrestler, desired to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. Unluckily, his dreams will not be real. Usage of banned preparations 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 prohibited preparations, 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 used in combinations with certain others to reduce water retention. Furosemide or Lasix is a diuretic. Wrestlers administrate 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 administrated anabolic steroids and other prohibited preparations intentionally. He said that he had administrated these medicines to receive recovery from a partially-torn bicep and an elbow injury. But he added that he hadn’t known that these preparations were forbidden by the WADA. This wrestler blamed his doctor for this aspect. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic doctor that recommended him using these medications. Colin Daynes noted that if he had known that the drugs were forbidden, he would not have competed.
Colin Daynes represented Canada at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. After he won the national trials in 2008 he wanted 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 administration of prohibited medicines this wrestler has been sentenced to 2-year ban. It means that colin Daynes is not allowed 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 might judge him, if they were able to do it after his 25-year successful career and everything he had done.
