Overview
- The Nationale Anti Doping Agentur formally proposed a four-year suspension on Friday and said the ban would reduce to three years if Ansah accepts the sanction.
- NADA's case rests on an alleged refusal or omission to provide a sample on July 9, and the agency has asked that all results from that date be annulled, including recent national titles.
- Ansah and his lawyer say he never refused a test and have rejected the proposal, triggering a disciplinary hearing request at the Deutsches Sportschiedsgericht and preserving the right to appeal further.
- The German athletics federation left Ansah eligible to run individually at the European Championships but removed him from relay selection to avoid possible retroactive team disqualification.
- Ansah has 20 days to accept or contest NADA's proposal, there is no provisional suspension so far, and procedural details about the tester's conduct and the timing of the visit are likely to decide the case.
