Richard Upton (born 1975)[2] is a retired Australian swimmer who won three medals in the 4×100 m freestyle relay at the World Championships in 1995, 1997 and 1998.[3]
In 1998, he was suspended from competitions for three months and lost $8,200 in fines and cancelled funding after a positive test for probenecid. The drug was prescribed to him by a doctor against a flu, but is can also be used to mask steroids.[1][4]
