12 news Dan Bickley, Jeff Metcalfe and Norm Frauenheim report live at 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. from Sydney during the games on 12news. He's racing against anabolic steroids that are masked, hidden and denied.
Nobody wants to get caught red-handed.
When the International Olympic Committee confirmed that shot putter C.J. Hunter, the husband of Marion Jones, tested positive for the steroid nandrolone, he tearfully denied using it. The penalties are going to come down hard. They have in Sydney, where eight athletes have been banished for using illegal substances and more than 50 were forbidden from competing because of pre-event testing. Even Romanian gymnast Andreea Raducan was stripped of her gold medal for taking a cold medication that also contained a banned ingredient, though Frankie was less sympathetic than some. Each athlete is given a complete ban list.
