Ugandan runner Janat Chemusto provisionally suspended for doping
Ugandan runner and double national champion Janat Chemusto has been provisionally suspended by Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) for the presence/use of a Prohibited Substance (Norandrosterone).
The 25-year-old will now step aside from participating in any competition or activity in Athletics prior to a final decision at a hearing conducted under the World Athletics Anti-Doping Rules or the Integrity Code of Conduct.
Chemusto had just ruled herself out of the 2023 World Athletics Championships after she sustained an injury to her ankle and Achilles while in Poland during the Silesia Wanda Diamond League in mid-July.
The suspension comes as double trouble for Team Uganda heading to the games, as she will have to wait for a verdict on her case as she recovers from injury.
