Penny Oleksiak, Canada’s most decorated female Olympic athlete, has been suspended from swimming competitions for two years for violating antidoping testing rules.
The violation does not involve a positive test for using performance-enhancing drugs, but rather stems from Ms. Oleksiak’s failure to make herself available to be tested, according to the International Testing Agency, a Swiss nonprofit that manages antidoping programs.
Ms. Oleksiak, 25, failed to report her location and availability to be tested by antidoping authorities three times over a 12-month period.
Under the requirement, known as the whereabouts rule, athletes who compete at the national and international level must report their location and provide a 60-minute time window when they will be available for random testing.
