Top Olympic weightlifters were sentenced to suspensions for intake of banned medications

The top Olympic weightlifters Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert were banned from “Average Broz’s Gymnasium” (Las Vegas, Nevada). They tested positive for forbidden medications. Steroids were not the drugs taken by these sportsmen. They administered non-steroidal drugs that are also forbidden under Code of the WADA.
Patrick Mendes tested positive for forbidden medications in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting scheduled who would represent the US at the 2012 London Olympics. The athlete tested for HGH; as a result, he was suspended.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic preparation furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a product that is applied by those that administer steroids in order to mask steroid use. Furthermore, this medication helps sportspersons to lose weight in order to meet criteria of certain weight groups.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports that divide competitors to weight categories.
HGH and furosemide are medicines which are forbidden by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The anti-doping system of the IWF is in the harmony with the WADA Code.
Mendes and Gilbert were coached by John Broz. Broz lived and trained with the celebrated 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 gym in Las Vegas.
Mendes was sentenced to 2-year suspension. As for Gilbert, he was suspended for 3 years.
The bans of these sportsmen are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. Thus, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their native country at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
