Zach Lund, an American Skeleton star, was banned after testing positive for drugs—for baldness. Propecia, an anti-baldness agent, was on the banned list because it can act as a masking agent for certain types of steroids. He may now miss the Winter Olympics, which occur in Turin February 10th. "It's on the banned list - no question he screwed up," said US Bobsled and Skeleton Federation President Jim Shea Sr. Still, Shea was quick to defend Lund’s integrity: "On a personal level, it's so sad. He's worked so hard to get here. I know Zach Lund, and I know Zach Lund is not a cheat." Lund’s father has stated that Lund began using the anti-baldness treatment six years ago.
