Remigius Machura (Czech pronunciation: Czech record holder in the event indoors and outdoors.
He was banned from the sport for life in 1985 for using
banned substances throughout his career. In 2000, an investigation headed by Dr. Jan Hnizdil revealed a secret state-sponsored doping programme in 1980s Czechoslovakia. Elite athletes were forced into doping, known as the "Program of Specialized Care", and Machura acknowledged that he had been a participant and claimed a number of other prominent Czechoslovakian athletes were also involved.[2]
Machura has a son, also named Remigius Machura, who is a shot putter as well.[3] In September 2010 he got 2-year doping ban. [4]
