The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has issued a severe warning to Oilers' defenceman Lubomir Visnovsky who, playing in Slovakia's colours at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, was found to have used pseudoephedrine.
Lubomir Visnovsky was tested February 24 after Team Slovakia's opening round win 4-3 against Norway. Tested again 2 days later, Lubomir Visnovsky was found clean.
The banned substance was contained in anti-cold medication Lubomir Visnovsky had been taking after consultation with Team Slovakia's physician Dalimir Jancovic, and Oilers' trainer Ken Lowe. Lubomir Visnovsky had included information about the medication in the pre-doping control form, adding he was not conscious the substance was on the banned list.
The IOC limited its sanctions against Lubomir Visnovsky to a warning but asked for investigation of both Dr. Jancovic and Ken Lowe.
