2. The Pan American Sports Association has announced
positive doping cases at the Pan American Games.
The association says four of the athletes -- Cinthya
Vanessa Dominguez Lara of Mexico, Peruvian
swimming silver medalist Mauricio Fiol, Nelson
Gomez of Puerto Rico, and Javier Jesus Ortiz Angulo
of Colombia -- tested positive for anabolic steroids
while the fifth, Mario Mercedes Castillo of the
Dominican Republic, tested positive for a banned
stimulant.
3. Mauricio Fiol failed an anti-doping test for Stanozolol
(Winstrol) and would now be stripped of his silver
medal while the bronze medal of Canada's Zack
Chertat would be upgraded to silver while teammate
Alec Page would move up to third place.
Winstrol is commonly used as a cutting cycle drug
by athletes and bodybuilders to lose body fat and gain
lean muscle mass.
