Hungary's Discus Thrower  Fazekas Off Olympic List For Using Dope
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.
