Top Olympic weightlifters sere suspended for usage of HGH and furosemide

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 preparations taken by these weightlifters. They administered non-steroidal medicines which are also forbidden under Code of the WADA.
Mendes tested positive for forbidden drugs in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting determined who would represent the US at the 2012 London Olympics. The weightlifter tested for HGH; as a result, he was suspended.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic drug furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a medicine that is used by those that administer steroids in order to hide usage of steroids. Moreover, this medication helps sportspersons to lose weight in order to correspond to certain weight categories.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports that divide competitors to weight classes.
HGH and furosemide are medicines that 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 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 learned the Bulgarian system of trainings and brought certain methods to America. He founded own training facilities in Las Vegas.
Mendes was suspended for 2 years. As for Gilbert, he was sentenced to 3-year suspension.
The suspensions of these athletes are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. So, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their home country at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
