NADA recommends four-year ban for Owen Ansah over doping violation
Summary

Germany's National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) has proposed a four-year suspension for sprinter Owen Ansah due to a possible anti-doping violation. The recommendation follows an investigation into Ansah's refusal to undergo a doping test just before the Golden League meet in Monaco. Ansah claims the testing occurred outside the agreed time frame, preventing him from providing a sample. He has 20 days to respond to NADA's proposal or request a hearing. The agency's recommendation includes the annulment of all results from July 9 onward, which would affect his recent titles at the German championships.
