South African cyclist S’annara Grove has been provisionally suspended because of a failed doping test, the International Testing Agency said Friday. Grove's sample collected on July 28 at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow returned an “adverse analytical finding” for ipamorelin, the ITA said. Ipamorelin, prohibited in and out of competition, “is a synthetic peptide used to stimulate the body’s natural production of growth hormone,” the testing agency said.
