Athlete Finegan: Hard training, not drugs, reason for success

Athlete Geraldine Finegan has insisted she has "never knowingly taken an illegal or legal substance to help (her) performance", after Athletics Ireland announced she had tested positive for the prohibited substance ephedrine.

In a joint statement, Athletics Ireland and the Irish Sports Council said ephedrine was found in a sample of the athlete’s urine after the 60 metres hurdles race at the World Masters Championships in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada on March 5, 2010.
