Australia's anti-doping authority has dropped its investigation into athlete Peter Bol in the lead-up to the world championships after finding his positive test for synthetic erythropoietin (EPO) was wrong.
The middle distance runner, who finished fourth in the 800 metres at the Tokyo Olympics, was provisionally suspended in January after testing positive in an out-of-competition urine test last October.
Sport Integrity Australia continued its investigation, though, saying the 'B' sample was an "atypical finding" and not negative. "As a result, Sport Integrity Australia has taken the decision not to progress an anti-doping rule violation for this sample. The investigation into this sample is finalised," it said."It was a false positive like I have said all along," he said in a statement.Australia's athletics federation said Bol's case had exposed "several serious questions" about how EPO is analysed by WADA-accredited labs.
"Peter Bol and every other high-performance athlete deserves clear and transparent answers to ensure this doesn't happen again. We encourage Sport Integrity Australia and WADA to provide those answers."
