The Athletics Integrity Unit has launched an appeal after USA sprinter Erriyon Knighton was cleared over a doping offence allowing him to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympics.<\/b><\/p>\n

The appeal has been lodged with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).<\/p>\n

Knighton, 20, tested positive for trenbolone – a banned substance used for muscle growth – in March but avoided a ban<\/a> following an independent arbitrator’s ruling.<\/p>\n

The United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) said the independent arbitrator ruled he more than likely digested the banned substance by eating contaminated meat.<\/p>\n

The 200m world silver medallist went on to compete at the Olympics and finished fourth in the men’s 200m final.<\/p>\n

“This appeal is against the decision of an arbitration tribunal in the United States that the athlete established no fault or negligence,” the AIU said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
