Veronica Campbell-Brown cleared by Court of Arbitration for Sport – will return to competition
In October, a Jamaican disciplinary panel recommended a public reprimand without any period of ineligibility. Earlier, a spokesman for the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said the case appeared to involve a “lesser” offence of unintentional use of a banned substance.
Under the World Anti-Doping Code, some diuretics are classified as a “specified substance,” a designation for drugs that might have been consumed without intent to enhance performance. Campbell-Brown tested positive for the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide.
A copy of the ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport was not available and it was not immediately clear when it would be made public.
Campbell-Brown intends to compete at the world indoor championships next month in Poland.
