He failed a drug test prior to 1996 Atlanta Olympics...

The 33-year-old Ukrainian, a 4-1 on favourite to retain the title, missed the 1996 Olympics after testing positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance. Klitschko claimed he took it unknowingly after being prescribed medication to help him recover from a leg injury sustained during a kickboxing bout.

Ah, that was it. I knew kickboxing was vaguely related somehow.
