Erriyon Knighton had not competed at all since the Florida Relays on March 30 and now we know why: he tested positive for trenbolone on March 26 and had been provisionally suspended since April 12. That is the same substance Jarrion Lawson tested positive for back in 2018.
Knighton claimed the positive test was due to consuming contaminated meat. Sometimes when that happens, USADA will clear the athlete, but this time it took the case to an independent arbitrator. That hearing was held on Friday and Sunday and today the arbitrator issued her decision and cleared Knighton. So he is immediately eligible to compete again.
This story may not be over though, because WADA and the AIU both have the right to appeal the decision. It could wind up in CAS, but for now Knighton can run.
LMAO, Shelby must be furious!
