His anti-doping sample from the April World Championships contained methylhexaneamine, a stimulant banned only during competition. Although Keatts was at the tournament, he was not planning to compete due to injury, as the U.S. federation had announced in advance.
The International Testing Agency (ITA) and Keatts have agreed that due to the unintentional use of the drug and the unique circumstances of the positive test, the athlete will be suspended for one month, from July 3 to August 2.
This way, Kitts will be able to participate in the Olympic Games. The men’s weightlifting competition up to 102 kg will take place on August 10.
