When Romanian gymnast Andreea Răducan asked her coach for something to cure her cold during the Olympics, he gave her Nurofen, an over-the-counter cold medicine...and effectively ruined her whole 2000 Olympics by not checking the ingredients list. Apparently Nurofen contains pseudophedrine, an illegal substance for Olympic athletes (though it's just a nasal decongestant!). After being drug tested, Răducan was stripped of one of her gold medals for the violation.
