5 Throwers Who Have Tested Positive For Performance Enhancing Drugs

3. Róbert Fazekas

Fazekas won gold at the 2002 European Championships and silver at the 2003 World Chamionships and went on to win gold in the Discus Throw at the 2004 Summer Olympics, but was later disqualified for failing to provide a drug sample. As a result the gold was awarded to Virgilijus Alekna. Fazekas provided only 25 millilitres of urine (50ml short of the minimum amount required).

After the two year ban from international competition, Fazekas made a comeback by finishing eighth position at the 2008 Olympic games.  Two days before the games he failed a drug test. His B sample was positive and likewise he received a further eight-year suspension from competition.
