Recent Instances of Steroid Use in Swimming
Overview
The Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), oversees international competition in aquatic sports. Based in Lausanne, Switzerland, FINA collaborates with various governing bodies to combat performance-enhancing drug use, including steroids, in swimming.
Steroid Policy
FINA's strict policy states that any swimmer testing positive for steroid use is subject to a two-year suspension, regardless of intent or awareness of ingesting a banned substance.
Notable Cases
Carlo Bertoncelli
The French Swimming Federation, under FINA’s jurisdiction, suspended Italian open-water swimmer Carlo Bertoncelli for one year on July 1, 2006. He tested positive for finasteride during the French Open Water Cup in Beaumont-du-Lac, France.
Renata de Oliveira Burgos
The Brazilian Swimming Confederation handed a two-year suspension to Renata de Oliveira Burgos on December 14, 2006. She tested positive for stanozolol, a banned anabolic agent, at the Open CBDA Correios de Natação.
Anatoliy Poliakov
Russian swimmer Anatoliy Poliakov was provisionally suspended from April 25, 2007, after testing positive for boldenone, an exogenous anabolic steroid. He faces a two-year ban following a FINA Out-of-Competition Testing Program.
Mehdi Sebou
During the First FINA Men’s Water Polo Development Trophy in Kuwait City, Mehdi Sebou from Morocco tested positive for 19-Norandrosterone, a nandrolone metabolite, on May 8, 2007. He was provisionally suspended from July 6, 2007, pending a FINA Doping Panel hearing.
Conclusion
FINA continues to enforce strict anti-doping regulations to maintain fair competition and integrity in swimming. These cases highlight the ongoing challenge of eliminating steroid use in the sport.
