Title: Wheelchair Games: Canadian Tests Positive for Steroids
Post by: Dos Equis on December 21, 2006, 03:50:19 PM

Not sure when this was first published, so could be old news. 

SPORTS PEOPLE: WHEELCHAIR GAMES; Canadian Tests Positive for Steroid
 
A Canadian wheelchair athlete has tested positive for using steroids and suspended from competition for two years, officials said yesterday in Ottawa. Weight lifter JACK McCANN, of St. Albert, Alberta, tested positive for the banned substance stanozolol, and metabolites which can be steroid byproducts.

He was stripped of the gold medal he won in the 165 pounds bench press in August at the Canadian national games for athletes with disabilities. Stanozolol is the same performance-enhancing steroid found in sprinter BEN JOHNSON at the Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, in 1988. (Reuters)
