Steroids have once again brought trouble for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) football.
A running back with the Université de Montréal Carabins, Olivier Renière, was found to be using a substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s 2011 “prohibited list” and will be banned for two years from all CIS sports.
From Cupwire.ca:
Renière’s adverse result came out of testing conducted by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) at the Carabins’ training camp Aug. 23. Renière has waived his right to an appeal.
“I admit to having consumed dietary supplements purchased on the internet from the United States in an attempt to save money, and I was well aware of the risk of contamination associated with purchases of this sort and that the Carabins medical team was opposed to players taking dietary supplements,” Renière said in a statement.
“The substance detected by the CCES did not appear on the list of ingredients indicated on these supplements. I deeply regret my decision, and I’m now paying a much higher price by being deprived of playing a sport that has been my passion for years.”
Renière tested positive for 19-norandrosterone, which contains nandrolone, an anabolic steroid.
