David Prince Accepts Second Doping Sanction


In an effort to aid athletes, as well as support team members such as parents and coaches in understanding the rules applicable to them, USADA provides comprehensive instruction on its website on the testing process and prohibited substances, how to file and update athlete Whereabouts, how to obtain permission to use a necessary medication, and the risks and dangers of taking supplements, as well as performance-enhancing and recreational drugs.
USADA makes available a number of ways to report the abuse of performance-enhancing drugs in sport in an effort to protect clean athletes and promote clean competition. Any tip can be reported using the USADA Play Clean Tip Center, by text at 87232 (“USADA”), by email at playclean@USADA.org, by phone at 1-877-Play Clean (1-877-752-9253) or by mail.
USADA is responsible for the testing and results management process for athletes in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement and is equally dedicated to preserving the integrity of sport through research initiatives and educational programs.
Prince’s seven-year period of ineligibility began on July 26, 2024, the date his provisional suspension was imposed. In addition, Prince has been disqualified from any competitive results obtained on and subsequent to July 19, 2024, the date his positive sample was collected, including forfeiture of any medals, points, and prizes. This is Prince’s second anti-doping rule violation within a 10-year period, so the period of ineligibility is increased as required under the Code. His first anti-doping rule violation also involved ostarine.
For more information or media inquiries, email media@usada.org.
In addition, USADA manages a drug reference hotline, Global Drug Reference Online (www.GlobalDRO.com), conducts educational sessions with National Governing Bodies and their athletes, and distributes a multitude of educational materials, such as a supplement guide, a nutrition guide, a clean sport handbook, and periodic alerts and advisories.
Prince, 41, tested positive for ostarine (enobosarm) as the result of an in-competition urine sample collected at the U.S. Paralympic Team Trials on July 19, 2024. Ostarine is a non–Specified Substance in the class of Anabolic Agents and is prohibited at all times under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing, the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee National Anti-Doping Policy, and the International Paralympic Committee Anti-Doping Code, all of which have adopted the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code) and the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.

‘Literally a whiteout on the plane’: Jets fans cheer for team during flight

The Winnipeg Jets lifted thousands of fans off of their seats at the Canada Life Centre this weekend, but few could say they were elevated by Sunday night’s win as much as a few Winnipeggers who got to see it while they were literally up in the air

A plane full of passengers headed to Winnipeg was flying somewhere over Saskatchewan when the Jets defeated the St. Louis Blues in the winner-take-all game to get into Round 2 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Rishona Hyman said she and the U16 water polo team she was chaperoning during competition in Calgary had just boarded the plane when the Jets tied up the score with three seconds remaining in regulation time during Game 7.

“People were going crazy in the Calgary airport before we even got on the gate,” she said Monday. “Then we board the plane, and I think it was the first time people were like … ‘Can we stay? We want to finish the game.'”

Hyman said as soon as the passengers got on board the plane, everyone started scrambling to get their devices connected to the plane’s Wi-Fi to stream the game.

“The pilot actually came on and said, ‘Okay I’m not going to actually talk because you don’t want to hear me talk. We’re all going to cheer for the Jets. Have a great flight,'” she said. 

She said a man who was sitting at the front held up his iPad so the whole flight could see.

Hyman said it was “literally a whiteout on the plane,” with passengers waving barf bags instead of handkerchiefs and chanting “Go Jets Go” as the game went on.

They were mid-air when Jets captain Adam Lowry scored the game-winning goal in double overtime.

“The flight attendants flashed the lights on and off.… Everyone’s going crazy,” Hyman said.

“Then the water polo team that I was traveling with started singing the, you know, ‘be my girl’ song they sing at the Jets arena.… It couldn’t have been better.”

The Jets will face the Dallas Stars in the second round of the playoffs starting Wednesday. Hyman said she’s excited, but that there was no better place to be to see the team win.

“It was truly Canadian, truly Winnipeg,” she said. “Everyone was into it. Everyone was cheering and screaming and, like, so excited. The excitement was palpable.”

Fans cheer for Jets thousands of feet in the air

Passengers of a plane heading to Winnipeg were flying somewhere over Saskatchewan when the Winnipeg Jets punched their ticket to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs — but that didn’t stop them from holding a whiteout party of their own.

GOLD CANYON, Ariz. – Janae Leovao had a hole in one on the Par 3 17th at Superstition Mountain Golf Club, helping the junior finish in 11th place after the first of three rounds in the NCAA Regionals.
 
Day One Results
 
The ace from Janae Leovao capped a consistent day from the junior, who finished with an even par 72 in the first round to sit in a tie for 11th overall in the tournament.
 
Jasmine Leovao, also playing as an individual for Long Beach State in the tournament, had a back-and-forth start to the day with three bogeys but two birdies over the first five holes, but settled in and finished two-over par with a 74, tied for 21st overall as the two compete to advance to the NCAA Championship.
 
The top individual finisher not from an advancing team will be one of six individuals who will play at the NCAA Championship, hosted at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, Calif. from May 16-21. Jasmine Leovao was that top finisher at the NCAA Regionals in Cle Elum, Washington last season.

Skiing body FIS signs Azerbaijan to five

GENEVA (AP) — Skiing’s governing body signed the oil- and gas-rich state of Azerbaijan on Tuesday as its first global sponsor of world championships which face challenges from changing climate.

The International Ski and Snowboard Federation said the five-year deal with Azerbaijan’s tourism agency through the 2030 season also includes the World Cup in some disciplines, including aerials, ski cross and snowboard cross.

“Above and beyond marketing rights, the core element of the strategic partnership is to promote and develop Azerbaijan’s status as a world-class winter sports destination,” FIS said in a statement.

The value of the sponsorship was not detailed.

Azerbaijan has previously used its fossil fuels revenue to invest in soccer sponsorship with UEFA and Spanish club Atletico Madrid, and hosting Formula 1 races.

The state led since 2003 by President Ilham Aliyev hosted the inaugural European Games in Baku in 2015 and twice bid for the Summer Games, of 2016 and 2020. Baku was not accepted as an official candidate by the International Olympic Committee.

FIS president Johan Eliasch is a long-time advocate for the environment, including in his campaign for the IOC presidential election in March that highlighted climate change.

“The urgency and scale of this challenge is increasingly real to people across the world, and they are desperately seeking practical and trustworthy leadership,” Eliasch wrote in his manifesto that claimed “80% of people around the world want more climate action.”

FIS acknowledged in November “winter sports and tourism face a bleak future because of climate change” when the Switzerland-based governing body announced a working partnership with the United Nations weather agency in Geneva.

Azerbaijan “is home to several ski resorts,” FIS said on Tuesday, and cited the Shahdag venue as a “paradise for skiers and snowboarders, at more than 2,300 meters above sea level.”

“We are inviting the world to take another look and discover our country as a wonderful place of stunning mountain ranges and snow,” the chairman of the State Tourism Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Fuad Naghiyev, said in the FIS statement.

Eliasch added the Azerbaijan partnership “ticks all the boxes. It brings value to the entire range of our disciplines, to further the development of snow sports across all levels — from recreational to elite — and takes us into a new exciting growth market.”

Azerbaijan has competed at each Winter Games since 1998 though has never won a medal.

It sent two athletes to the 2022 Beijing Olympics, both in figure skating, and none in the six snow sports organized by FIS.
