LONDON (AP) — British track and field says sprinter Bernice Wilson has been suspended after failing a doping test.
UK Athletics says Wilson tested positive for testosterone and clenbuterol after a meet on June 12 in Bedford, England.
Clenbuterol is the same anabolic agent that Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador tested positive for during last year’s Tour de France. He blamed the test on contaminated beef.
UK Athletics says Wilson has been provisionally suspended and can request a hearing. She could face a two-year ban if found guilty of doping.
Wilson, coached by George Skafidas of Greece, ran the 60 meters at the European Indoor Championships in March but failed to reach the final.
