A Norwegian ultra runner who tested positive for a banned substance following his win in the 55km OCC race at the 2023 UTMB has announced he has settled his case.
Stian Angermund, who has won several world championship medals in recent years, announced in February that he was "utterly bewildered" after testing positive for Chlortalidone, a diuretic that can be used to mask the traces of performance-enhancing drugs in the bloodstream. He was banned from racing for the remainder of 2024 while an investigation was underway.
