Colorado Springs, Co. - Downhill skier Breezy Johnson has been handed a 14-month ban for three violations of anti-doping rules, preventing her from racing until December. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made the decision public late Monday, citing Johnson's failure to comply with whereabouts rules that require athletes to provide their location for one hour each day for unannounced drug testing.
According to USADA, Johnson had whereabouts failures on Oct. 29, 2022, June 13, 2023, and Oct. 10, 2023. Despite being a seven-time podium finisher in World Cup races, Johnson voluntarily withdrew from the circuit in December while under investigation.
