Share

2024 world indoor championship bronze medallist Carey McLeod has been handed a 2-year ban from World Athletics after admitting to three whereabouts failures.

The former 2x national champion accepted the sanction after the Athletics Integrity Unit found he breached article 2.4 of the world athletics anti-doping rules which relates to missed tests and filing failures by athletes in a registered testing pool.

He will be ineligible to compete until May 28 2028. The ban also includes disqualification of McLeod results from May 1, 2026 with forfeiture of any medals, points, prizes and earnings.

The Athletics Integrity Unit recorded three whereabouts failures against McLeod spanning the period from June 30 2025- May 1, 2026, to combination of missed tests and filing failures required under World Athletics anti-doping rules to constitute a violation.
