Olympic Hurdler Ronald Levy Fails Doping Test, Awaits B-Sample Results

Levy, bronze medalist in 110m hurdles from Tokyo Olympics, expresses surprise and vows to defend his integrity after a failed out-of-competition test conducted by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission last month.

Ronald Levy, a Jamaican hurdler who won a bronze medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, has failed an out-of-competition doping test, as per confirmation from the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission. The test was conducted early last month.
Levy has expressed shock at the revelations of the adverse finding, stating that he has 'always conducted myself with the highest level of integrity in the sport' that he 'love[s] dearly'. He asserted that an unfair advantage is something he would never seek.
While awaiting the results of the B sample test, Levy has resolved to defend his integrity during the process, firmly stating, 'I am certain I did not knowingly breach the rules,' and conveying his commitment to a fair sport.
In addition to his recent Olympic medal, Levy has had a notable sporting career, with highlights including a gold medal victory at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
These developments come amid a continued focus on doping in athletics and will likely add to discussions surrounding athlete integrity and doping regulations in sport.
