Anyone heard of this?

Someone just told me the Goalie from the NHL team in Arizona, tested positive for propecia during his Olympic drug testing, and they are saying that this is now a drug that many pro athletes are using as a masking agent, any truth to that??

Hmm....

I heard on the radio this morning that a top skulling Olympian (I think, have to look it up) was banned today for taking a hair loss treatment drug.  And yes, they alluded to it being used to mask steroid use.

I live in Phoenix and I've heard nothing about this.

Was it Cujo?

I'll be sure to ask Wayne Gretzky about this when he has time....

not sure who it was, just was told someone from the Pheonix team who is on the olympics tested positive for it, as a masking agent, first time I had heard of them using that for a masking agent...amazing what they figure out certain substances are good for other than their primary function...

Well if you don't have specifics, how do you expect anyone else to know?

If I live in Phoenix and I don't know why would anyone else magically know?

Those type of details aren't usually revealed.

Okay here it is, if anyone is interested, basically, he's not in the olympics, was way off, but in doing some research, here is the real deal if anyone is interested.

Here's what I was talking about.  A U.S skeleton competitor who was set to compete in the Turin games was banned for taking finasteride.

^Ok........now I did hear about this, yes.  It's minor, he just got clipped because they consider it a masking agent.

no big deal.
