Hungary's Discus Thrower Fazekas Off Olympic List For Using Dope
- 11 Jul 2012 9:00 AM
Discus thrower Róbert Fazekas has been deleted from the list of Hungarian athletes in the upcoming Olympics as stanozol, an anabolic steroid, has been found in his body during a test outside competition.
If his B test proves positive, Fazekas will count as a repeat offender as he was disqualified at the 2004 Athens Olympics for refusing to produce a sufficient urine sample, deprived of his gold medal and banned for two years from competitive sport.
