http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=207474&Sn=SPOR&IssueID=30318BAHRAIN's top bodybuilder Tareq Al Farasani was stripped of his under-90kg gold medal which he won at the 61st World Championship held at Jeju Halla Stadium in South Korea, the Bahrain Olympic Committee (BOC) announced yesterday.
An official from the BOC said the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness also banned Al Farasani for two years after failing to pass a sample 'B' test held in South Korea recently.
The test revealed that Al Farasani was taking steroids during the championship but the Bahraini bodybuilder denied the accusation.
"I travelled to South Korea and was confident that I will pass this test but something went wrong and I am so disappointed now," said Al Farasani.
"I would never do something like that. This is the first time that I get caught and it's very much possible that someone included some steroids in my supplements," he said.
"The result means that I will miss the next World Championship that will be held here in November," added Al Farasani.
Rights
Bahrain won the rights to host the next prestigious event following a tough battle with other candidates, Iran and Brazil.
Al Farasani was one of two Bahrainis who took gold medals at the event besides Mohammed Sabah who came on top in the under-80kg category.
The two winners were among seven Bahrainis in the fray.
The other Bahraini bodybuilders were Abbas Makki, Bader Sultan, Abdulla Salman who all came sixth in the under-60kg, under-65kg, under-70kg divisions, respectively, besides Nooh Hassan who was eighth in the above 90kg.
