Northern Tigers swim star Kerri-Leigh Shaw has been provisionally suspended from competition effective from Tuesday April 1 following a positive drugs test during the Fina Swimming World Cup in Belo Horizonte in Brazil on November 25 last year.
She now faces a hearing before the Fina doping panel following an analysis of a B-sample.
Kerri-Leigh Shaw was withdrawn from the Telkom South African Aquatic championships currently on in Durban by Swimming South Africa after they had been informed of the failed test.
She reportedly tested positive for the substances Clenbuterol and Ephedrine.
The Fina executive then decided to provisionally suspend Shaw pending further tests by the doping panel. — Sapa
