A first-year running back at the University of Waterloo has received a three-year ban from football after testing positive for human growth hormone.
The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport says Matt Socholotiuk is the first athlete in North America to be caught using HGH.
The organization says the Waterford, Ont., native also tested positive for testosterone through a urine sample.
His blood sample contained HGH, according to the CCES.
Socholotiuk was initially banned for four years, but an arbitrator ultimately reduced the suspension to three years through to June 4, 2013.
In June, the school suspended its football program from competition for a full season after urine tests revealed nine anti-doping violations.
A total of 82 samples were collected March 31, with 62 being for urine and 20 for blood.

NYPD supervisor facing suspension.
The NYPD supervisor caught in a 2007 steroids probe faces a 30-day suspension and a year of probation for abusing human-growth hormone, The Post has learned.
A departmental trial for Deputy Chief Michael Marino, 52, second in command of Patrol Borough Brooklyn North, resulted in the recommendation -- but the final decision on punishment will be made by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
Marino, a 32-year NYPD vet, was among two dozen cops who bought steroids and HGH from Lowen's Compounding Pharmacy in Brooklyn.
Marino volunteered for a drug test in 2007, which showed he didn't have steroids in his system.
Marino had a prescription for HGH, but the NYPD rejected his claim that the muscle- and bone-enhancing drug was medically necessary, according to sources.
He had obtained the prescription from Dr. Richard Lucente of Staten Island, who was under investigation for writing thousands of steroid scripts.
Marino did not return a call for comment. Since the juicing scandal erupted, the NYPD has instituted random steroid testing for all officers.

Scottish prison guard suspended for steroid smuggling.
A prison guard has been suspended after smuggling illegal steroids into jail for body-building cons. Vito Alongi was caught trying to sneak the pills into private Addiewell nick, West Lothian.
But the 51-year-old, from Edinburgh, claims he was forced into taking the drugs in by menacing gangsters. Part-time kitchen worker Alongi, who claims he is now under police protection, said: "It's dangerous. I've had threats."
The pills, many thought to be taken in by crooked staff, are rife in Scots jails. Some guards say they fear the "Hulk Hogan" lags. One warder said: "Most of the prisoners are working out all the time. "Combined with the steroids, that's making them a force to be reckoned with. It's intimidating." An insider at the Scottish Prison Service admitted the Class C pills were "present" in most jails.
A spokesperson for Addiewell operator Kalyx said they "have managed to prevent many drugs including steroids from getting in". Alongi was suspended on full pay eight days ago.

Duke Nukem Forever video game to feature steroids power up :-)
This pic shows what I assume was a promotional giveaway at a recent press preview of the much delayed Duke Nukem Forever game finally due for release in 2011.
( the long awaited follow up to a game I played nearly a decade ago, I'm sure with all the current anti-steroid propaganda the steroids powerup will be removed from the final retail version ).
