Overview
- Simmonds was found to bear No Fault or Negligence for an anti-doping rule violation after an ITA investigation.
- The ITA said she established inadvertent contamination via intimate contact with a partner who was using supplements containing ligandrol.
- No period of ineligibility was imposed, and she is eligible to compete effective immediately.
- Because the positive test came from an out-of-competition sample collected on December 8, 2024, no results are disqualified.
- The ruling may be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and Simmonds said the outcome brought her ‘indescribable’ relief after months out of competition.
