Olympic medalist Alysha Newman banned for missed doping controls after ending career
The Athletics Integrity Unit said three whereabouts failures led to the reduced sanction after officials accepted she had ended her pole-vaulting career.
- On Friday, The Athletics Integrity Unit banned Olympic bronze medalist Alysha Newman for 20 months for missed drug tests, with the suspension expiring in August 2027.
- Three "whereabouts" failures within a 12-month period triggered the violation; Newman was unavailable for an unannounced control in February last year and twice in August.
- During the third incident, Newman told officials she left to film a television game show; the AIU accepted her retirement as a mitigating factor.
- Newman won bronze for Canada at the 2024 Paris Olympics and earned medals at the Commonwealth Games and Pan American Games, competing last at Diamond League meetings in Qatar and Morocco.
- The AIU described her retirement as a "sufficiently unique/exceptional factor" when assessing fault, resulting in a ban shorter than the standard two years for whereabouts violations.
