French fencer Ysaora Thibus was exonerated by the anti-doping disciplinary tribunal of the International Fencing Federation, which did not impose any sanctions against her, paving the way for her participation in the 2024 Olympics, the foil fencer announced on Tuesday and his lawyer Joëlle Monlouis to AFP.
Provisionally suspended since February 8 due to a positive test for ostarine, an anabolic agent, the Tokyo Olympic team vice-champion successfully pleaded “contamination by bodily fluid” via her companion.
Kept away from competitions and training in a federal framework since the beginning of February, the Frenchwoman can therefore return to the quest for her Olympic goal, subject to an appeal from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) or the FIE.
