Wheelchair racer suspended
TORONTO, June 13: Canadian wheelchair racer Jeff Adams has been suspended from competition for two years after testing positive for cocaine. The suspension was announced on Tuesday by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport.
The violation occurred during an in-competition test conducted at last year’s Canadian wheelchair marathon championships in Ottawa.
Adams says the positive test was the result of a contaminated catheter. His lawyer, Tim Danson, said that the banned substance was not in Adams’s system at the time of the race. —AP
