Brazilian Pharmacy Blamed For Cielo's Positive Doping Test

CAS says a Brazilian pharmacy was responsible for Olympic champion Cesar Cielo's positive doping test ahead of the world championships.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport issued a detailed verdict one week after clearing Cielo to compete in Shanghai. CAS says the pharmacy "admitted" preparing a heart disease medication containing furosemide, a diuretic banned in sport, on the same day it made Cielo's prescribed caffeine capsules.
