Zimbabwean Para-athlete Clement Nyoni Gets Two-year Ban For Anti-doping Rule Violation
World Para Athletics Grand Prix: The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has banned Para-athlete Clement Nyoni from Zimbabwe for a period of two years for committing an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV), in breach of the IPC Anti-Doping Code.
The Zimbabwean athlete returned an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for a prohibited substance in a urine sample provided in-competition on April 28, 2024, during the men's 400 m T46 event at the Marrakech 2024 World Para Athletics Grand Prix. The substance was prednisolone/prednisone, which is included in the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) 2024 Prohibited List under the class S9 Glucocorticoids, the IPC informed in a release on Tuesday.
The athlete was provisionally suspended by the IPC on July 31, 2024, pending a resolution of his case. The athlete subsequently accepted the commission of the ADRV and the consequences proposed by the IPC.
