Skier wins compensation from firm whose product contained steroid

Dec 19 05

A court in Hradec Kralove, east Bohemia, has ordered the Aminostar company to compensate cross- country skier Petr Novak who tested positive for the banned norandrosteron substance after using nutrition supplements produced by the company, the aktualne.cz server informed today.

Novak, a onetime member of the Czech republic's junior national cross-country skiing team, tested positive for norandrosteron three years ago and was suspended from the sport for two years.

"The verdict says that our compensation claim is valid because my client was damaged by the company. The actual size of compensation has not been discussed by the court yet," said Novak's lawyer Prokop Benes.

After testing positive, Novak had Aminostar's nutritional supplements checked by an accredited laboratory. The lab confirmed the presence of banned substances in the products.

Aminostar representatives said that they have not added banned steroids to their product. "This is nonsense. I can say that no producer in the Czech Republic would dare do this," the company's owner Josef Bukvic told Nova Television.

Novak said he is going to demand financial compensation from the company.
