Petr Korda Caught Doping

In 1998, Petr Korda famously won the Australian Open but his success run in the world of tennis came to a stop when he tested positive for Dianabol following his quarter final match against Tim Henman at the 1998 Wimbledon Championships.

The Czech former professional tennis player’s positive test was a surprise to many as he was the least muscular athlete on tour. Almost everyone in the professional tennis circuit was surprised to learn that Petr Korda was bulking up with anabolic steroids.

The list of surprises associated with the Petr Korda doping scandal did not end here. The former Australian Open tennis champion managed to convince the International Tennis Federation that he did not knowingly used the anabolic steroid. The tennis star was stripped of the prize money and ranking points he had won at 1998 Wimbledon. He later received a ban of 12 months for 12 months from September 1999 despite the fact that he retired after he failed to qualify for 1999 Wimbledon in a qualifying match against Danny Sapsford.

About Dianabol (Methandrostenolone)

Dianabol (Methandrostenolone or Dbol) is an anabolic androgenic steroid that is generally used by professional bodybuilders and athletes during the early stages of longer bulking cycles. Dianabol is often stacked with Testosterone, Trenbolone, and Deca Durabolin. This steroid is best known for promoting muscle mass and the sense of well being.

Extremely effective and easy-to-use, Dbol is a popular steroid with men. The heavily masculinizing effects of Methandrostenolone are well-known in the world of amateur and professional bodybuilding. Considered to be the most powerful bulking oral anabolic steroid, Dianabol (Methandrostenolone), this derivative of Testosterone exhibits strong anabolic and moderate androgenic properties.
