Scott Boothby, the American hammer thrower, has been suspended for eight years after he tested steroids and a masking agent, according to the US Anti-Doping Agency.
The 33-year-old Boothby has stopped competing but remained in the random drug-testing program since he had not filed proper retirement paperwork.
From Foxsports.com.au:
Boothby tested positive for finasteride in an out-of-competition test on June 25. The substance is permissable if part of a prescribed medication, but Boothby had no such exemption filed.Finasteride is common in hair restoration products and Boothby said he tested positive because he was using one of them.US skeleton slider Zach Lund was yanked from the Torino Winter Olympics in February, just hours before the opening ceremony, for using finasteride. Lund also blamed a hair-restoration medication.Boothby revealed last August he had been caught for the masking agent, telling the Oregonian newspaper, "I'm not a doper. I've been drug-free my whole life."But, less than a month later, Boothby was hit with a second doping violation. Following a random test on September 6, he tested positive for anabolic agents 6-oxo-androstenedione and its metabolite 6a-hydroxyandrostenehione.
A reduction in the usual lifetime ban was proper for the second offence, says the USADA.
