French fencer Ysaora Thibus tested positive for ostarine on January 14. The 2022 world champion has just given up on analyzing the B sample.
Provisionally suspended since February 8, the fencer must convince the International Fencing Federation (FIE) of her innocence by the Olympic Games if she wants to be able to participate in her “dream”. The origin of the contamination identified? “My team and I are moving in the right direction and we have already been able to identify the probable origin of this contamination despite my daily vigilance and precautions,” she says.
