Help Clear Kelly Guest's Name
|
|
 In 2002, while ranked number two in Canada for triathlon, Kelly Guest was sent home from the Commonwealth Games due to a positive drug test for a steroid called Nandralone. Although Kelly was later found to be innocent of any attempt to cheat and innocent of any intentional use of the steroid, there was still no explanation as to how the positive test result occurred and, subsequently, he was banned from all competitive sport for two years.
Recently, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) wrote to Kelly and admitted that the 2002 drug result may have been a false positive caused by a newly discovered phenomenon called "active urine".
