Zach Lund - Skeleton - Olympic Hopeful

In pursuit of redemption has become the Zach Lund Story. A gold medal favorite in 2006 and an official member of the 2006 US Olympic Team, Zach arrived in Torino as the gold medal favorite. In a devastating turn of events, he was denied the opportunity to compete in there for testing positive for finasteride, a masking agent found in the hair restoration medication he was taking – a medication he had declared on every drug test he had ever taken since 2002. Zach was forced to leave the Olympic Village on the eve of the opening ceremonies - his Olympic dream shattered at the last possible moment.

Zach served a one year suspension from the sport, and with the grace of a true champion returned to Torino on November 9, 2007. There, in the first event on the track since the Olympics, he won World Cup Gold on the Olympic Track, setting a new track record while doing so – the fastest sled ever on the track. He went on to win the 2007 World Cup Championship along with four gold medals and while setting two track records.
