U.S. wrestler and Fountain resident John Lorenz has been suspended for two years for testing positive for a prohibited substance.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced Monday that Lorenz tested positive for Clomiphene in an out-of-competition urine sample taken July 11. Clomiphene is on the list of hormone antagonists and modulators. A female fertility drug, Clomiphene can be used to boost testosterone as part of a steroids cycle.
Lorenz competed at 211 pounds (96 kilos) at the U.S. Wrestling world team trials in Oklahoma City in June. He began his suspension last Tuesday.
