Erriyon Knighton's Doping Case Heads to Court of Arbitration

The Athletics Integrity Unit appeals the US Anti-Doping Agency's decision to clear Knighton of wrongdoing due to meat contamination.

Knighton tested positive for Trenbolone, a banned substance, claiming it came from contaminated oxtail meat.
An independent panel initially cleared Knighton, allowing him to compete in the Olympics where he finished fourth in the 200 meters.
The Athletics Integrity Unit is appealing the 'no-fault' decision, escalating the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The appeal highlights ongoing tensions between global anti-doping agencies, particularly involving cases with Chinese athletes.
Knighton's lawyer argues the sprinter is a victim of broader conflicts between anti-doping authorities.
