Olympic sprinter Erriyon Knighton gets 4-year ban for positive test for anabolic steroid
- Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a four-year ban on American sprinter Erriyon Knighton starting Friday, 2025-09-12.
- The ban follows a doping case from May 2024 involving the anabolic steroid epitrenbolone, with Knighton judged not at fault for its presence.
- Knighton argued the steroid came from contaminated oxtail meat, but CAS ruled the explanation lacked required proof and was statistically unlikely.
- The ban disqualifies Knighton's results retroactively from March 26 to April 12, 2024, and credits him for a provisional suspension served last year.
- The ban expires in early July 2028, effectively ruling Knighton out of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics despite his status as a two-time Olympic finalist.
