Overview
- The Tokyo 2021 silver medalist accrued three whereabouts failures within 12 months, which constitutes an anti-doping rule violation.
- The suspension takes effect retroactively from December 26, 2024, the date of the third missed filing.
- The missed filings occurred on April 19, May 17, and December 26, 2024, while she was in the testing pool, according to the coverage.
- Because it is a repeat offense, the penalty exceeds the standard range; Saunders previously served an 18-month ban from August 2022 to February 2024 for the same issue.
- All results from December 26, 2024 onward have been annulled under the terms of the sanction.
