The doping case involving U.S. sprinter Erriyon Knighton's claims of eating contaminated meat is currently under appeal and will be reviewed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The Athletics Integrity Unit, responsible for overseeing anti-doping measures in track and field globally, has decided to challenge the 'no-fault' ruling issued by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency prior to the Olympic trials earlier this year.
Knighton had tested positive for the banned substance Trenbolone, a drug commonly found in livestock and associated with various contamination incidents in the past. Knighton maintained that he consumed oxtail from a bakery in central Florida that was contaminated with the substance.
