Swimmer Ryan Lochte accepts 14-month suspension from US Anti-Doping Agency for prohibited intravenous infusion
FirstpostAmerican swimmer Ryan Lochte put up a post on social media in which he was being injected intravenously with a permitted substance, but in unregulated quantities. Six-time Olympic gold medallist swimmer Ryan Lochte has been suspended for 14 months for receiving an intravenous infusion of a permitted substance without a therapeutic use exemption, the US Anti-Doping Agency said on Monday. Lochte, who was expected to compete at this week’s national championships in California, posted a photo of himself on social media in May that depicted himself receiving the infusion, which triggered the USADA investigation. The swimmer, who won gold in the 4x200 metres freestyle relay in Brazil, missed last year’s world championships while serving a 10-month ban handed down by the United States Olympic Committee for his part in the Rio scandal.
