DRUGS IN SPORT
Susen Tiedtke-Greene, a German long jumper married to the American Olympic bronze medallist Joe Greene, has tested positive for a drug that was synonymous with the systematic doping methods practised for years in the former East Germany.
Tiedtke-Greene, an East German junior champion whose parents both represented the GDR, tested positive for the steroid Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone - better known as Oral-Turinabol - a day after winning a bronze medal at the World Indoor Championships last month. She faces a four-year ban. The drug is normally given to patients in the latter stages of cancer.
