Hammer thrower Gwendolyn Berry has been banned for 16 months by the United States Anti-Doping Agency for testing positive for a banned substance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The suspension means the 34-year-old American will miss this month’s World Athletics Championships in Budapest.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Berry’s violation resulted from her use of a topical medication – a cream used to treat pain in a specific part of the body – that contained spironolactone.<\/span><\/p>\n

She has a prescription for the drug but failed to get an exemption to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is the second doping ban within a 10-year period for Berry, who was a member of the United States’ 2016 and 2020 Olympic teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

She was also suspended in 2016 for three months after using an inhaler containing the banned substance vilanterol trifenatate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her ban means she will also miss the 2024 Paris Olympics, which begin next July.<\/span><\/p>\n
