Originally Published 6 months ago — by The Independent
French Olympic fencer Ysaora Thibus was cleared of doping charges after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled her positive test for ostarine was caused by accidental contamination from kissing her partner, American fencer Race Imboden, who was taking the substance. The court dismissed WADA's appeal and upheld the previous ruling that Thibus bore no fault or negligence, allowing her to compete in Paris 2024.
