Luvo Manyonga, world long jump champion, provisionally suspended

South African Luvo Manyonga, who came back from a crystal meth addiction to win an Olympic silver medal and world title in the long jump, has been provisionally suspended in a drug-testing case.

Manyonga, 29, was charged with whereabouts failures by the Athletics Integrity Unit, which handles anti-doping cases in track and field.

First-time offenders can be suspended one to two years for whereabouts failures, which are missing drug tests and/or failing to provide whereabouts information for drug testers to conduct tests.

“There is much more information that can be shared with regards to this provisional suspension,” was tweeted from Manyonga’s account on Saturday.
