  Maybe this is why .. (was doing a net search)

  Nandrolone

  TYPE OF SUBSTANCE Anabolic Agent

  WHAT FORM DOES THE DRUG TAKE? injection

  CLINICAL USE Used as a treatment for wasting diseases, and to strengthen and increase body tissue and musculature in HIV infected men. It is also know as Deca-Durabolin.

  WHY ATHLETES USE IT & WHY IT’S BANNED It helps increase muscle mass and physical strength. Nandrolone occurs naturally in the human body but only in tiny quantities. A limit of 2 nanograms per ml of urine (set by the International Olympic Committee) is the maximum concentration thought possible to occur in human body by “natural means,” and if this is exceeded the drug test is considered positive. Some nutritional supplements have been known to contain nandrolone without listing it in the product contents.

  SPORTS MOST ASSOCIATED WITH ITS USE track and field, soccer, cycling

  WHO’S TESTED POSITIVE? Canadian triathlete Kelly Guest; British sprinters Linford Christie, Mark Richardson and Dougie Walker; European soccer players Christophe Duggary, Jaap Stam and Edgar Davids; tennis players Greg Rusedski and Petr Korda; Bobsleigh racer Lenny Paul; American shot-put world champion CJ Hunter

  I thought drugs were good!:). Cheating via drugs is not new. In the US, if you follow baseball, Barry Bonds is widely viewed as guilty fo taking steriods to gain muscle. Such cheating is reprehensible, but I’m sure athletes who cheat like Bonds and this Brazilian bobsledder will be exposed in time.
