Olympic Swimmer Tests Positive for Clenbuterol

Two weeks before the Summer Games begin in Beijing, U.S. Olympic swimmer, Jessica Hardy, 21, tested positive for clenbuterol, a banned substance. The swimmer denies taking any forbidden substances, although the Orange County Register reported her coach urged her to have any dietary supplements she's been taking tested for "inadvertent consumption" of the banned substance. Hardy is listed as an endorser of AdvoCare, a dietary supplement company.
