She broke several Russian Junior Records and represented her country internationally at a number of junior-level meets. That was more than two seconds faster, for example, than the fastest-ever American at the same age. Sabitova turned heads when in 2017, she swam a time of 59.42 in the 100 meter fly (long course) at just 12-years old. The World Anti-Doping Association put out a Stakeholder Notice about diuretic contamination in 2021 that included new reporting requirements. An analysis of US Anti-Doping Association cases between 20 showed 9 where pharmaceutical contamination was responsible for positive tests for diuretics, with one study concluding that this was in part due to the increased sensitivity of anti-doping testing technology.

Studies have shown a high rate of diuretic contamination in generic prescription medication and over-the-counter supplements. World Champion synchronized swimmer Veronika Hryshko, a Ukrainian, was suspended for 4 months for a furosemide test in 2019. After the manufacturing lab took fault for the contamination, he received just a warning and loss of results as a penalty.Īustralian Olympian Brenton Rickard tested positive for the same in a retroactive drug test of his 2012 Olympic sample, though the IOC ultimately dropped that case. He convinced an anti-doping panel that it was contamination of caffeine pills that he took. The substance is the same one that was cited by Brazilian superstar Cesar Cielo (and several of his teammates) in his positive test in 2011. The substance is not banned because it directly provides a performance-enhancing benefit, but because it can be used to mask other performance-hancing substance by diluting urine samples. The reduction of the suspension period from four years to two years for a first offense implies that Sabitova convinced the anti-doping panel of RUSADA that her doping was not intentional, but provided no evidence for accidental contamination or any other result that would reduce her fault.įurosemide is a diuretic used medically to treat fluid retention. RUSADA says that it is “taking into account” the period served during a temporary suspension, but did not disclose how long that temporary suspension lasted. Sabitova’s disqualification period was backdated to October 12, 2022. The 18-year old tested positive for furosemide, a banned diuretic, in an anti-doping sample. Russian swimmer Alexandra Sabitova has been given a two-year doping suspension, the Russian Anti-Doping Association announced on Monday.
