Daphne Schrager celebrates on the podium of the women's C1-3 3000m cycling individual pursuit track event during the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

Paralympic silver medallist and former World Champion on the track Daphne Schrager has been handed a two year ban for the use of a prohibited substance.

Last year, Schrager provided an out of competition urine sample that was found to contain ligandrol, a drug that has been shown to increase lean muscle mass. The drug is not approved for medical use or human consumption and is prohibited in sport at all times.
