British Olympic bronze medalist Alain Baxter has tested positive for drugs.
Baxter, who won Britain's first skiing medal, said he was "devastated" by the news but wanted to go public because he had nothing to hide.
The slalom skiier from Aviemore has issued a statement saying: "I have never knowingly taken any medicine or substance to improve my performance and as such believe that I am entirely innocent.
"I am now working with lawyers and medical experts to present my case to the IOC's Inquiry Commission (and the IOC's Disciplinary Commission), which I am advised is unlikely to convene until next week, with a view to defending myself successfully against the charges of doping".
His statement concluded: "I do not intend to conduct my defence through the media and as such I am not making myself available for interview and will not be making any further statement on this matter until the IOC's Inquiry and Disciplinary Commissions have ruled on my case."
Tests showed Baxter had traces of the banned substance methamphetamine.
One form of Methamphetamine is known as the club drug "Ice" which can give users a four-day high.
The British Olympic Association received formal notice from the International Olympic Committee's Inquiry Commission last Friday, that tests on Baxter had proved positive.
