Overview
- The two-year ineligibility is backdated to his provisional suspension on June 13, 2025, with all results from April 21, 2025 forfeited.
- The case stems from an out-of-competition test that found DHEA, a WADA-prohibited anabolic agent banned at all times.
- An independent arbitrator ruled his ingestion was not intentional, cutting the sanction from the four years sought by USADA.
- Hearing records say he began taking a Life Extension DHEA supplement shortly after hospitalization for pneumonia and realized the ban two weeks later.
- The sanction runs through June 12, 2027, leaving open a return in time to pursue the 2028 U.S. Olympic team.
