Owen Ansah to compete at German championships amid doping investigation

Summary

Owen Ansah, the German 100-metre record holder, is set to participate in the German athletics championships in Bochum this Saturday. His lawyer confirmed that Ansah is not provisionally suspended despite ongoing investigations by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) regarding a potential refusal to undertake a doping test. The situation arose after an inspector requested a sample shortly before Ansah's departure for the Diamond League race in Monaco on July 10. Ansah stated that he was unable to provide the sample on short notice. NADA has acknowledged the absence of a mandatory suspension in this case.
