:Canadian wakeboard medallist tests positive for banned substance
at Pan Am Games
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- Pan American Games officials say Canadian
wakeboard silver medallist Aaron Rathy has tested positive for a
banned substance.
Officials say the wakeboarder from Nanaimo, B.C., tested positive
for the stimulant methylhexaneamine and his medal had been
withdrawn.
Games officials say the Canadian delegation was being informed
about the positive test.
In November 2010, Canada's doping watchdog warned athletes that
supplements containing methylhexaneamine were "widely available in
the Canadian market and have been the source of many doping
violations worldwide over the last year."
This is sad.... maybe he did this to recover faster after his last injury... I don't know!
