Speed Skater Sergei Lisin Failed Test for Blood Doping

Russian speed skater Sergei Lisin recently failed a drug test for blood doping with the use of the blood booster EPO. Lisin is currently facing a two-year ban if found guilty but has the option for a B sample or appeal. Seems like every sport has someone using the juice or messing with their blood.

Speed Skating Equipment Tampering

U.S. speed skating coach Jae Su Chun has recently been accused of sabotage. Chun allegedly ordered U.S. speed skater Simon Cho (pictured) to tamper with the skates of rival Canadian speed skater Olivier Jean at the 2011 World Short Track Team Speed Skating Championships in Warsaw. Prior to the 5,000 meter relay finals Jean had skate problems and was unable to compete costing the Canadian team a chance at gold or silver.
