In an emotional hearing with the NAC last month, Lombard testified that the culprit for his failed test was a pill given to him by a "friend of a friend," Canadian Olympian Julie Malenfant Northrup, which he took on Jan. 2 to help combat flu-like symptoms after weigh-ins.

Lombard said he took the pill on good faith, and he reiterated that statement on Monday, denying any ill intent and expressing remorse for his decision.

"I'm very disappointed in my stupidity," Lombard said.

"It was one of those things that was meant to happen. I never expected that a pill would have such a strong -- I thought when you kind of get caught is when you're injecting yourself with something or whatever. But she was like, this pill, you can take it over the counter and stuff like that. But obviously that was wrong."

Changed the title to be a little less...

Saying "I am stupid; I made a mistake" is the right thing to do. Following that up with "I trusted someone and they caused me to fail my test" is the wrong thing to say.

Lombo comes off looking like a huge ass, here.

He whines in the article that he's been punished severely by the AC despite not having a history of failed tests, too.
