Ooops it's only 18 months backdated, so she returns just in time for the US outdoor season 2023. Edited March 16, 2023 by Grassmarket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dullard 352 Posted March 16, 2023 #39 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Just now, Grassmarket said: No, she would not be able to qualify from the US Nationals. The ban ends in February 2024 and trials aren't until June. If she were banned for the full 24 months it wouldn't end until August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the 18 months instead of the standard 24 is to allow just that. dullard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
