Athletics along with cycling may be the hit sports scandals in the world of doping. I spoke in an earlier entry to various German athletes who had undergone sex change. This is another case:
Balian Buschbaum remains a celebrity in Ulm, the German city where he was born, but his days of glory and scandal sports world when he announced he was leaving the sport to change sex (ceased to be Yvonne, bronze medal at the 2002 European pole vault, and happened to be Balian) passed. Now is an anonymous man who left his post in the army and begins to make a living as a coach.
addition there are thousands of cases and penalties in the world of athletics by doping. Visit this page: http://atletismoweb.com/positivos.htm
And nothing to say about the sprinters. I especially the case struck me as a kid was to Ben Johnson. In the 1987 World Championships in Rome, Johnson gained fame by defeating Lewis also beat the world record with a record layer, 9.83 seconds. A year later, Johnson and Lewis meet again in a grand finale, the Games of 1988. Again, Johnson beat Lewis, and made further lowering the world record in 9.79 seconds leaving. The world was amazed, a feat of greatness of Bob Beamon, a world record that would last, an athlete be remembered, Johnson was a hero. But few days later, a urine test showed that Johnson had used steroids which earned him a disqualification for doping. The scandal was so great or more than it had been his victory. The test speed queen was challenged and many athletes were overshadowed by the fall of Johnson. Later
acknowledge having used steroids when he won the 1987 World Record with the result that the record is also void. His disqualification gave the gold medal to Carl Lewis, Linford Christie's silver and bronze to Calvin Smith. Although Johnson was the only athlete who tested positive in the review, it is not the only one who has consumed certain substances prohibited by the athletics federation. Years later, Christie was also found that using steroids.
In 1991, Johnson tried to return to the track without much success, with a best mark of 10.31. In 1993, Johnson appeared to be approaching his best form, but a new doping control with positive results, finally cut short his career to be banned for life.
and painful recent scandals like Marion Jones. American sprinter, who got big hits such as 5 medals at the Sydney Games. Later, and after several scandals with her ex-husband sprinter Tim Montgomery, have been careful to ruin. The IOC will set aside all his triumphs. He had to return all the medals won, and over in January 2008, Judge of the District Court of the United States (White Plains), was sentenced to six months in prison . It now has serious economic problems. Extract Address Information
