USADA announced today that Wallace Spearmon, Jr., of Fayetteville, Ark., an athlete in the sport of track & field, has tested positive for a prohibited substance and accepted a three-month sanction for his rule violation.
Spearmon, 29, tested positive for Methylprednisolone as the result of an in-competition urine sample collected at the Edmonton International Track Classic on July 6, 2014. Methylprednisolone is a glucocorticosteroid prohibited in-competition under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing (the “Protocol”) and the International Association of Athletics Federations (“IAAF”) Anti-Doping Rules, both of which have adopted the World Anti-Doping Code (“Code”) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (“WADA”) Prohibited List. Glucocorticosteroids are classified as a Specified Substance, and therefore the presence of Methylprednisolone in an athlete’s sample can result in a reduced sanction.

The JAAA needs to take a page out of US Track & Field in how to protect their athletes.
