Olympian Peter Bol says provisional doping suspension lifted after B sample exonerates him

Australian athlete’s career was in the balance after urine test showed signs of synthetic EPO, a performance-enhancing agent

Peter Bol, whose athletics career was in the balance after failing an out of competition doping test last year, said he has been cleared after a B sample did not match the A sample.

Bol was provisionally suspended by Athletics Australia in January after a urine test showed signs of synthetic EPO, a performance-enhancing agent that is on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s banned list.
