British athlete reportedly San Sebastian drug positive

Robert and Annette Koop are reporting that a British athlete tested positive for illegal performance-enhancing drugs at the San Sebastian world meet last summer — and not a German as previously speculated. The athlete is male, I was told a few weeks ago. Still no name attached to the athlete.


The Koops report (in this rough translation from German):
Dopingfall with WM: British athlete is clear positively tested now:
“With the WM in San Sebastian on Dopingmittel positively tested athlete is a Britisher. The searches of www.masters sport.de confirmed this. Occasionally in the USA upon the fact it had been speculated that a German senior athlete was concerned.
“Contrary to WMA president Cesare Beccalli had denied EVAA president Dieter Massin (awls) however repeated and seriously this acceptance. Its representation was now confirmed. On further request Massin wanted to express itself however not further to the “floating procedure”.
“It did not want to confirm also that it was as an acting WMA Secretary-General because of the Dopingfalles in the past days with the IAAF in Monaco. According to data, the Winston Thomas (GBR), presidency member of the European senior Leichtathletikverbandes (EVAA), opposite www.masterstrack.com made, is present a medicine abuse.
“This describes the offence however only imperfectly. Because actually the British athlete took directly several work-promoting medicines, which all together on the Dopingliste. The name of the athlete is not further admits.”
