To say it one more time: I am innocent and have not taken this substance as I was accused. Last month I told everyone that I was innocent and asked that everyone in Australia believe me and let the process play out. The relief I am feeling is hard to describe. The last month has been nothing less than a nightmare. I wish the results of my A Sample had not been leaked, but there is nothing I can do about that. My provisional suspension has been lifted by Sport Integrity Australia.

Bol was one of Australia’s stars of the 2020 Olympics, held in 2021, when he became the first Australian to reach an 800m final at a Games since 1968. “Last month I told everyone that I was innocent and asked that everyone in Australia believe me and let the process play out,” he said. “The last month has been nothing less than a nightmare,” he said on Tuesday. “To say it one more time: I am innocent and have not taken this substances I was accused.

The relief I am feeling is hard to describe. I was hopeful that the process would exonerate me,” Bol wrote.

Peter Bol is free to race again after a shock positive drug test rocked the athletics world in January.

The question has to be now with Peter Bol how was the A sample result leaked, or in other terms before the process was finished. He was booked to go to Canberra and very likely was going to be named Young Australian Of The Year before the news broke.— Luke Dennehy (@LukeDennehy) “Sport Integrity Australia is not currently in a position to comment further on the matter.” “Pursuant to the relevant provisions in the Australian National Anti-Doping Policy 2021 and World Anti-Doping Code 2021, the Mandatory Provisional Suspension which was imposed on the Athlete following the AAF from the Part A Sample on 10 January 2023 is lifted. “Recombinant EPO is a synthetic substance and is not produced naturally by the human body. “An ATF is not the same as a negative test result. He said the A sample being announced was a “disgrace” and described the process as “unbelievable.” “The results of the Part A sample analysis for the Athlete was an Adverse Analytical Finding (positive doping test) for rEPO. “The USADA is the world leader in this reagrd - they would never announce a test before a B sample confirmed an A and before a charge letter was issued, it would not happen. “I wish that the results of my A Sample had not been leaked, but there is nothing I can do about that.” “Last month, I told everyone that I was innocent and asked that everyone in Australia believe me and let the process play out,” Bol said. In a statement on Tuesday, Bol confirmed that his B Sample “did not confirm my A Sample”.

"Last month I told everyone that I was innocent and asked that everyone in Australia believe me and let the process play out," Bol said in a statement on Tuesday.

'It's a disgrace': Bol's lawyer goes nuclear over Aussie drug body's 'really poor process'

“The fact that they announced this is a disgrace. “Recombinant EPO … “The sun is shining for Peter Bol. A lot of feelings, there’s a lot of emotion for all of us,” he said. and is prohibited at all times. “They announced it without sharing any documentation with us.

"Normally an athlete doesn't even know they have an atypical finding. So, the fact that they continue to just publicly have this case before all of Australia is just sad, really." That statement is failing to acknowledge that they messed up the whole thing from the beginning. "What an atypical finding does is it triggers additional testing. That's all an atypical finding normally does," he said. "All they should have said was the B did not confirm the A. They don't look after the interests of the athletes. It never should have been leaked, never should have been released. "So I don't really understand how there can be such a difference between the same urine. "I don't understand what that means. How can they be so different?" "Why wasn't the B test done as well when the A was done?

'They can continue the investigation all they want, interview him, do whatever … but there is no evidence.'

I don’t want him being focused on being a plaintiff answering people, that is not fun. He is a runner, he represents Australia with honour every time he puts on that uniform. He has to get back to his normal life.” It is possible they overloaded the test when they did it. They have the burden to prove he did something wrong to the comfortable satisfaction of any hearing panel, and they can’t do that. There is no urine test to prove anything.”
