CLEARED OF WRONGDOING
Why Ratchanok was found not to have violated anti-doping rules
- “All glucocorticoids are prohibited when administered by oral, intravenous, intramuscular or rectal routes.” For Ratchanok, glucocorticoids were administered by a periodontal ligament injection.
- The glucocorticoid triamcinolone acetone was administered on May 13 before the competition as part of ongoing medical treatment. The substance was not administered during the competition from May 15 to 22.
- Ratchanok did not dispute the laboratory results or that triamcinolone acetone was present in a urine sample collected on May 15.
- The BAT strictly followed the BWF’s suggestion not to comment pending the release of results while Ratchanok was provisionally suspended.
