Colin Daynes will not represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics

The Greco-Roman wrestler Colin Daynes desired to represent Canada at the 2012 London Olympics. Unluckily, his dreams will not be real. Intake of banned medications 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.
According to the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports, Colin Daynes tested positive for such forbidden preparations, as boldenone, drostanolone, furosemide and tamoxifen. Boldenone and drostanolone are anabolic steroids that are better known under their trade names: Equipose and Masteron. When it comes to Tamoxifen, it is known as Nolvadex. This medication is usually used in combinations with several others in order to minimize water retention. Furosemide or Lasix is a diuretic. Wrestlers take this drug 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 banned products intentionally. He noted that he had used these products to get recovery from a partially-torn bicep and an elbow injury. But this wrestler added that he hadn’t known that these medications were forbidden by the WADA. Daynes blamed his prescriber for this case. He said that he had consulted a naturopathic doctor that advised him using these drugs. Colin Daynes noted that if he had known that the products were forbidden, he would not have competed.
This wrestler represented Canada at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. After he won the national trials in 2008 he was going to compete at 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 usage of banned drugs Colin Daynes has received 2-year ban. It means that this wrestler is not allowed to compete till December 2012, when his athletic career ends as well.
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 his 25-year successful career and everything he had done.
