Augusto Montano won’t receive any sanctions from USADA after testing positive for a prohibited substance in an out-of-competition drug screening, the organization announced in a statement on Wednesday.
Montano tested posted for trace amounts of clenbuterol in an out-of-competition urine sample provided on May 19, 2016. Clenbuterol is an anabolic agent that has been found to be administered to animals used for food production in countries such as China and Mexico.
“USADA interviewed Montano on multiple occasions and reviewed all available relevant evidence, including Montano’s whereabouts, dietary habits, and the laboratory reports demonstrating very low parts per billion concentrations of the prohibited substance in the athlete’s urine sample,” the statement read.
