Greek sprinter Dimitris Regas tests positive for steroid methyltrienolone

Greek sprinter (and 400M athlete) Dimitris Regas tested positive for a nasty anabolic methyltrienolone.

Greek sprinter Dimitris Regas has tested positive for the steroid methyltrienolone, according to a statement from the Greek Athletics Federation (SEGAS).

"We express our regret because yet another doping incident is plaguing Greek sport," said the statement on its website ( www.segas.gr ).

The 21-year-old, who tested positive at the national championships in Athens last month, has denied using drugs.

"I never thought it necessary to use banned substances because my only goal in sport was to make my parents and everyone who believed in me proud," he said in a written statement.
