French sprinter-hurdler Cyréna Samba-Mayela, Olympic silver medalist in the 100m hurdles at Paris 2024, has been provisionally suspended, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced Friday, September 25.

According to the organization, the sanction follows three failures by the athlete to meet her whereabouts reporting obligations, a system that requires high-level athletes to continuously report their location to enable unannounced anti-doping tests.

Three failures over a twelve-month period constitute, under current anti-doping rules, an infraction that can result in suspension. The disciplinary procedure must now proceed to determine any potential final sanction.

This provisional suspension immediately bars Cyréna Samba-Mayela from competition while the AIU's procedure continues.
