A statement from the German National Paralympic Committee said Ahmet Coskun had tested positive for finasteride, a drug used to treat hair loss but which can also mask other banned substances, after a pre-competition urine test on Aug 23.
“I was thinking about my hair and had no idea that the drug contained a banned substance. I’m very upset. I never intended to do doping,” Coskun said.
German chef de mission Karl Quade expressed regret at the news. “We take the issue of anti-doping very seriously. We’ve been carrying out an intensive anti-doping campaign for years in cooperation with NADA (the German anti-doping agency),” he said in a statement.
Coskun, 33, who played for Germany in three of their pool matches but not in Wednesday’s 73-63 win over Iran, will return home soon, German paralympic chiefs said.
Coskun was the second athlete to have tested positive at the Games. Pakistani powerlifter Naveed Ahmed Butt, 37, tested positive for the steroid methandienone metabolites on Sept 4, two days before the opening ceremony.

Dear Gary,
Thank you for your email which I received yesterday. I am pleased to tell you that the treatment I had with you has worked very well and my hair is still growing as it should. I have experienced no adverse effects or problems so feel an appointment would be unnecessary. However, if I did ever experience problems again I hope that I would be able to come back and see you.
Kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Julie Hedger

no commentThis 25 year old women started treatment with us in August 2007. She is diagnosed as suffering with Androgenetic Alopecia or Female Pattern Hair Baldness.
Androgenetic alopecia has a characteristic pattern of hair loss; it begins with a slight recession at the front hairline and is followed by thinning on the crown of the head. This hair loss results from a complex chemical reaction when the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts the testosterone in the system into DHT or dihydrotestosterone. The hair follicles are genetically predisposed to be oversensitive to the DHT and become smaller and smaller with time, leading to the eventual hair loss.
Helene is using the prescribed treatments listed below:
Vitastim 15% Hair Regrowth Stimulant and Hair Loss Stabiliser
This stimulant is recommended to help stabilise hair loss and strengthen existing hair. It is a natural hop-based solution that works as a vasodilator to increase blood circulation in the scalp and so enable healthy hair growth.
Biostim 15% Hair Regrowth Stimulant and Hair Loss Stabiliser
This stimulant contains a multi-vitamin complex to stimulate the hair follicles and increase hair cell production and proliferation. It is also designed to prolong the hair growth cycle, promoting increased hair growth and density.
