Tara Davis-Woodhall of the United States was stripped of her recent national indoor title and given a one-month suspension by the United States Anti-Doping Agency on Tuesday.
Tara Davis-Woodhall, 23, won the now-revoked title at the 2023 USATF Indoor Championships on Feb. 17.
The agency stated in a statement that Davis-Woodhall’s drug test from the competition revealed cannabis properties, which typically results in a three-month ineligibility period.
The Arkansas native was able to reduce her suspension to just one month, which began on March 21 and has since been completed, because her “use of cannabis occurred out-of-competition” and was “unrelated to sport performance,” the agency said.
Additionally, Davis-Woodhall has completed a “substance of abuse treatment program regarding her cannabis use,” according to the USADA’s statement.
Tara Davis-Woodhall won the title in February after posting a jump of 6.99 meters at the indoor competition in New Mexico.
The Anti-Doping Agency considers cannabis as a prohibited substance. However, the agency has asked for input regarding the use of the drug as its legality expands across the country.
