Ahmet Coskun, a German wheelchair basketballer, was tested positive for finasteride after a pre-competition urine test on August 23. Subsequently, he was kicked out of the event in the Beijing Paralympics
It was reported that although finasteride does not enhance performance, it can be used to cover up drugs that do.
"I was thinking about my hair and had no idea that the drug, which is against hair loss, contained a banned substance. I'm very upset. I never intended to do doping," Coskun said, according to the reports.
