The Olympic shooter Ysaora Thibus collapsed from doping while the authorities accept that she was contaminated by a kisses partner
Lausanne, Switzerland – French Olympic Fencer Ysaora Thibus was rid of an allegation of doping on Monday because the judges admitted that she had been contaminated by kissing her American partner over a period of nine days.
The Sports Decision Arbitration Court echoed a verdict by dying another French athlete with a similar defense in a doping allegation – tennis player Richard Gasquet in the famous case of “Kiss de Cocaine” in 2009.
Case said that in the Thibus case, his jarnasse had rejected an appeal from the World Anti -Doping Agency, which asked him to be prohibited for four years.
Thibus was tested positive for the anabolic substance in January 2024. She was then authorized by a court of the International Closing Federation of weeks before the Paris Olympic Games, which allowed him to compete there.

Wada challenged the explanation that Thibus was contaminated “by kissing with his then partner, who had used a product containing the ostarine without his knowledge,” said case.
The court said on Monday “It is scientifically established that the contribution of a dose of ostarine similar to the dose ingested by Ms. Thibus” then would have left enough quantities of ostarine in saliva to contaminate a person by kisses. “”
The judges of the case “accepted that the supporter of Ms. Thibus took Ostarine from January 5, 2024 and that there was a contamination over nine days with a cumulative effect”.
His partner at the time was an Imboden race, a double bronze medalist of Olympic fencing for the United States.
Thibus, silver medalist for France in the Foil women’s team at the Tokyo Olympic Games, ranked fifth at this event in Paris and 28th in the individual women’s leaf.
