Mentioned in this video
The Athletics Integrity Unit has disclosed that NCAA 200m champion Adaejah Hodge š»š¬ of Georgia received a two-year ban for testing positive for a prohibited substance, but her sentence was shortened by seven months after she provided substantial assistance to anti-doping investigators.
Hodge tested positive for metabolites of GW501516 at the World Athletics U20 Championships in Lima in August 2024. She was notified of the violation in November 2024 and immediately cooperated with investigators.
Her former Montverde Academy teammate Issam Asinga tested positive for GW1516 in August 2023. He is currently serving a four-year ban that ends in Aug. 2027.
Former Montverde Academy coach Gerald Phiri was suspended after the AIU alleged he possessed multiple banned drugs and three of his high school athletes tested positive for GW1516.
From the AIU decision:
ā The AIU agreed on balance of probabilities that ingestion was unknowing
ā The ban runs from August 28, 2024 to August 27, 2026
ā However, seven months were suspended for substantial assistance, making Hodge eligible to compete again as of January 28, 2026
ā All competitive results between August 28 and November 22, 2024 were disqualified.
The case was resolved via a negotiated agreement between Hodge, the Athletics Integrity Unit and WADA, leaving no avenue for further appeal.
