Powell to run in Paris ahead of CAS hearing
Print Edition
JAMAICAN sprinter Asafa Powell will run in France on July 5, days before his doping hearing at sport’s highest court.
The organizers of the Paris Diamond League meeting confirmed his participation yesterday. Powell is free to compete pending the outcome of his doping appeal. A former world record-holder in the 100 meters, Powell tested positive for oxilofrine at the Jamaica trials a year ago. Powell, who blamed his positive result on a nutritional supplement, appealed the 18-month suspension imposed by Jamaica anti-doping authorities, asking the Court of Arbitration for Sport to cut the sanction to three months. The CAS hearing is set for July 7-8.
Former world champion Tyson Gay is also returning from a one-year doping ban to compete in Lausanne, Switzerland, on July 3. The American sprinter will then take part in the Montreuil meet on July 7.
