Ville Tiisanoja

Ville Johannes Tiisanoja (born December 24, 1975 in Vantaa, Finland) is a 192-cm (6' 4") tall Finnish shot putter who weighs 119 kg (260 lbs) and competes for Kenttäurheilijat-58 in Vantaa. His personal best in the men's shot put currently stands at 21.09 m, which he put on July 28, 2002 in the Elite Games in Kuortane, Finland. He is coached by his father Kalle Tiisanoja. Tiisanoja is a construction foreman by trade.

Although Tiisanoja does not hold any Finnish records for men's shot put, he does hold the record for 17-year-olds from 1992 (19.79 m) and the indoor shot put record for 14-year-olds from 1989 (13.30 m). In addition, Tiisanoja holds several records for discus, javelin throw and hammer throw. Tiisanoja competed in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, where he did not make it to the final round and ended up placing 19th thanks to his put of 19.50 in the qualifiers.

Even though Tiisanoja regularly puts over 20 m, his best placing in the European Championships was a 4th place in the 2005 Indoor Championships in Madrid and 8th place in 3 World Championships. That said, he has, however, won 3 Finnish Championships, one (2006) which he has been stripped of. Tiisanoja was the 15th member to be inducted into the 20 meter club after he successfully putted the shot 20.06 m in a competition on July 31, 1999 in Espoo, Finland.

Doping

2002

Tiisanoja and discus thrower Timo Tompuri were caught by the French Customs Authorities in spring 2002 with doping substances (4 ampules of testosterone, 38 tablets of ephedrine, 44 tablets of clenbuterol and 245 tablets of melatonin) in their car when they were returning from training in Spain; they denied all involvement and were left off with a warning even though the Legal Protection Board of Sport in Finland stated in their decision that it was extremely unlikely that someone would have been able to stash doping substances in their luggage by accident or without their knowledge that are abused in their sports events. For this reason, the Legal Protection Board did not consider it credible that Tiisanoja and Tompuri did not know about the doping substances in their car.

2006

On June 27, 2006, July 21, 2006 and July 31, Tiisanoja tested positive for testosterone; he admitted that his A test was accurate and did not request that his B sample be analyzed. Tiisanoja is banned from competing for two years and has been fined EUR 50,000. In addition, all of his results in competitions since June 27, 2006 will be thrown out [ [http://www.hs.fi/urheilu/artikkeli/Kuulanty%C3%B6nt%C3%A4j%C3%A4+Tiisanoja+j%C3%A4i+kiinni+dopingista/1135221304986 HS:Kuulantyöntäjä Tiisanoja jäi kiinni dopingista] ] , thus stripping him of his gold medal in the Finnish Championships this year, which means that Conny Karlsson has won this year's Finnish Championship. Tiisanoja is attributing his decision to use a banned substance to his desire to attain the levels he had previously reached in international competitions after a dismal indoors season.
