Brazilian pole vaulter Thiago Braz, the 2016 Rio Olympics champion, has been banned for 16 months by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) for a doping violation involving the prohibited substance ostarine. Braz, who won bronze at Tokyo 2020, attributed the presence of the substance to sports supplements provided by his nutritionist. Despite facing a originally suggested four-year ban, the tribunal recognized that Braz relied on advice from his medical team and may lodge an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
