Patrick Mendes (BRA, 105kg) just tested positive for drug use at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. His sample revealed a testosterone metabolite (4Chlorodehydromethyl testosterone) in his system, and has resulted in a provisional suspension.
His results from the Pan Am Games are as follows:
Snatch 1: 170
Snatch 2: 175 (miss)
Snatch 3: 175 (miss)
CJ 1: 200
CJ 2: 206 (miss)
CJ 3: 206 (miss)
Total: 370, 4th
Unfortunately, this is not the first drug test Mendes has failed in his career. In 2012, 21-year old Mendes admitted to using HGH after two separate samples tested positive for the drug. Resulting in a two year suspension, Pat became the first American in a current Olympic sport to be reprimanded for a positive HGH test.
