Second Zieliński brother suspected of doping

22:02

Two days after Tomasz Zieliński had been banned from the ongoing Olympics, his older brother Adrian is suspected of doping as well, Gazeta Pomorska informed. Adrian has been a favorite in weightlifting in the 94 + kg weight category. The information hasn't been confirmed by the Polish Olympic Committee. "This is manipulation. I'd have to be a complete fool to take doping and come here fight for a medal," Zieliński said. The official result of the test is to be revealed on Friday. Tomasz Zieliński has been removed from the Olympic competition after he was tested positive for the banned substance nandrolone. Zieliński asserted that he is innocent of doping. His brother Adrian said beforehand: "it's impossible, it makes me want to cry." Should the suspicions be confirmed, it would be the third incident of doping amongst  Polish weightlifters in recent days, as Krzystof Szramiak, an alternate  for the Polish Olympic team has been banned for usuing performance enhancing drugs as well.
