LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Polish canoeist Adam Seroczynski has been banned for two years for doping with the banned anabolic agent clenbuterol at the Beijing Olympics.
The International Canoe Federation said Friday that the former Olympic bronze medalist violated doping rules and is suspended through Feb. 3, 2011.
Under International Olympic Committee rules, the 35-year-old Seroczynski is ineligible to compete at the 2012 London Games.
The IOC disqualified Seroczynski from the Beijing Games last December, but he appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. CAS dismissed the appeal.
Seroczynski finished fourth in Beijing in the flatwater K2 1,000-meter class with Mariusz Kujawski, who was not under suspicion.
