Top Olympic weightlifters were suspended for intake of prohibited drugs

The top Olympic weightlifters Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert were banned from “Average Broz’s Gymnasium” (Las Vegas, Nevada). They tested positive for prohibited drugs. Steroids were not the drugs applied by these sportsmen. They administered non-steroidal medications which are also forbidden under Code of the WADA.
Mendes tested positive for prohibited products in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting set who would represent the US at the 2012 Olympic Games. The sportsman tested for HGH; as a result, he was sentenced to a suspension.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic medication furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a drug that is taken by those who take steroids in order to hide usage of steroids. Furthermore, this medicine helps athletes to lose weight in order to meet criteria of certain weight categories.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports where athletes belong to certain weight classes.
HGH and furosemide are medicines which are prohibited by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The anti-doping system of the IWF meets criteria of the WADA Code.
Mendes and Gilbert were trained by John Broz. Broz lived and trained with the prominent Bulgarian weightlifter Antonio Krastev during his career. Krastev broke a world record snatch of 216 kg in 1987. John Broz studied the Bulgarian system of trainings and brought some methods to America. He founded own training facilities in Las Vegas.
Mendes was sentenced to 2-year ban. As for Gilbert, he was sentenced to 3-year suspension.
The bans of these weightlifters are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. So, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their home country at the 2012 London Olympics.
