France's Bousquet serving doping suspension

Wed, Oct 20 10 03:57 PM

French swimmer Frederick Bousquet has been serving a two-month ban following a positive test for the banned stimulant heptaminol.

The former 50m freestyle world record holder said the positive result was from an over-the-counter ointment but said he deserved the suspension.

"I can confirm that Frederic Bousquet is serving a suspension between Sept. 20 and Nov. 20," Louis-Frederic Doyez, French Swimming Federation managing director, told Reuters.

Bousquet failed a dope test last June when he was nursing an unidentified illness.

"There are no mitigating circumstances. I deserve the sanction, that's all," Bousquet told L'Equipe.
