French Olympic fencer Ysaora Thibus was cleared of a doping allegation by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The ruling accepted her defense that she was contaminated by kissing her partner, who had unwittingly used a product containing ostarine. She tested positive in January 2024, leading the World Anti-Doping Agency to appeal for a four-year ban, which was dismissed. The court noted that scientific evidence supports her claim of contamination through kissing, allowing her to compete in the upcoming Paris Olympics after an earlier tribunal's support.
