Owen Ansah, Germany's fastest-ever sprinter, is being investigated by the national anti-doping agency, NADA, for potentially failing to comply with a doping test. While he remains eligible to compete, the agency has initiated a results management process under rules against athletes evading or refusing tests. Ansah, who set a German record of 9.98 seconds in the 100 meters last month, is viewed as a medal contender for the upcoming European championships in Britain.

"Germany's fastest-ever sprinter is facing a potential ban as the national anti-doping agency looks into whether he failed to comply with a test.
