Olympic Surfer Miguel Tudela Suspended for Steroid Use

Doping, or steroid use, isn’t much of a concern when it comes to competitive surfing.

It’s not like surfers are shooting up PEDs (performance enhancing drugs), getting juiced in the locker room, then banging out homers like Mark McGwire circa 1996.

And yet, on occasion, it does happen. Like recently with Peruvian surfer Miguel Tudela, who competed in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. However, although Tudela has been sidelined from competition after violating an anti-doping rule, it appears there’s more to the story.
