Colin Daynes’ athletic career will end after serving the ban

Colin Daynes, a Greco-Roman wrestler, wanted to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. But his dreams will not be real. Intake of controlled substances became a reason for it. Colin Daynes 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.
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. As for Tamoxifen, it is known as Nolvadex. This medicine is usually taken in combinations with several others in order to reduce water retention. Furosemide or Lasix belongs to the class of diuretics. Wrestlers take this medication as well as other diuretics to lose body weight to correspond to requirements of certain weight categories.
Colin Daynes acknowledged that he had used anabolic steroids and other prohibited medicines intentionally. This wrestler noticed that he had used these medications to get recovery from a partially-torn bicep and an elbow injury. But he added that he hadn’t known that these medicines were prohibited by the WADA. Colin Daynes blamed his health care provider for this case. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic doctor who advised him using these drugs. Colin Daynes noted that if he had known that the drugs 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 participate in the Beijing Olympics. But he didn’t participate in this Olympics because he couldn’t qualify at the international level. Recently he 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 usage of forbidden products this wrestler has been sentenced to 2-year ban. It means that this wrestler is not permitted 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 were able to do it after his 25-year successful career and everything he had done.
