Vroemen fails second drugs test

The second drugs test carried out on Dutch steeplechaser Simon Vroemen is also positive, news agency ANP reports. Earlier this week it emerged that Vroemen, the European 3,000 metre steeplechase record holder, had tested positive for anabolic steroids.


Vroemen (39) says he will contest the outcome of the tests. The steroid found in his urine is largely used by bodybuilders and would not do anything to help distance runners, Vroemen says.
