French hurdler Cyrena Samba-Mayela has been given a temporary suspension for not disclosing her whereabouts to anti-doping officials.<\/b><\/p>\n
Samba-Mayela won silver in the 100m hurdles at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old’s suspension was confirmed by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) on Friday. <\/p>\n
The sanction was imposed on Samba-Mayela on September 18, and could result in a two-year ban. <\/p>\n
She withdrew from August’s European Championships because of injury.<\/p>\n
A representative for Samba-Mayela told French news agency AFP that the athlete had never returned a positive result on an anti-doping test, and that the investigation is solely focused on the whereabouts breach.<\/p>\n
“The procedure mentioned is ongoing before the AIU and concerns exclusively administrative whereabouts requirements, and not the use of any substance whatsoever,” the representative added.<\/p>\n
“She [Samba-Maylea] continues to respond within the allotted timeframes and to co-operate fully.”<\/p>\n
Elite athletes are required to inform anti-doping officials about their locations, for example if they are attending a training camp away from home or if they are travelling.<\/p>\n
These locations are used in order to comply with the rules for random doping tests.<\/p>\n
Three failures within a year, such as a missed test or inaccurate information given to the anti-doping officials, can result in punishment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
