Jamaican Olympic medalist fails doping test, risks potential 4-year suspension

Posted : 24 November 2023

Ronald Levy, the bronze medalist in the 110m Hurdles at the Tokyo Olympics, is facing the possibility of a four-year ban due to his B sample testing positive for two banned substances. The Jamaican hurdler was informed by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) on November 2nd that his A sample, tested by the WADA lab in Canada from an Out of Competition (OCT) test, showed adverse analytical findings. Levy contested these results and requested a test on his B sample, which has now returned positive.

The banned substances identified in the sample are GW 501516-SULFOXIDE and GW501516 SULFONE, both listed on the WADA banned substances list. These substances are known to aid in the rapid reduction of triglycerides, commonly referred to as fat. Levy, a 2018 Commonwealth champion with a Personal Best of 13.05 seconds, now faces the prospect of a hearing and a potential four-year ban. This development carries significant consequences for the accomplished athlete.
