Will Claye, a triple Olympic medalist between the long jump and triple jump, was cleared of wrongdoing after testing positive for a trace amount of clenbuterol, a banned muscle-building substance, on Aug. 1.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency investigated Claye and determined he likely ate contaminated meat in Mexico. USADA said it was “consistent with numerous prior reported cases globally.”
In 2011, FIFA did not prosecute more than 100 positive tests for clenbuterol among players at the Under-17 World Cup in Mexico, which has a reputation for using the drug in farming.
Clenbuterol is best known as the substance that cost Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador the 2010 Tour de France title.
