United States athlete Gil Roberts has been handed an eight-year suspension after testing positive for banned substances for a second time.
An out-of-competition test taken by Roberts in September detected multiple banned substances including ostarine, which boosts muscle growth.
In 2022, Roberts, 35, was given a 16-month ban after testing positive for ostarine and andarine.
