Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newman issued provisional suspension for whereabouts failures
Newman faces a provisional suspension for three missed drug tests in one year and denies doping, calling the issue administrative, not performance-enhancing drug use.
- Following the AIU notice, Newman said 'I have never used a banned substance' in a statement sent to the Free Press on Thursday.
- Newman said the misses reflected administrative burdens—travel, training, media and business commitments—not doping, and Athletics Canada noted it issues reminders but says athletes are responsible for submitting whereabouts.
- Having last competed in the Diamond League in May, Newman says she has built a social media profile while pursuing modelling off the track.
- Newman accepted the provisional suspension and will fully co-operate, as Penny Oleksiak received a two-year ban for three whereabouts failures.
- The Athletics Integrity Unit lists five categories of whereabouts failures, including missing a 60-minute testing slot, while mandatory CADP education aims to address enforcement challenges.
