       Olympic Long Jumper Tested Positive for Trenbolone After Eating
       Beef
       
       Jarrion Lawson was exonerated after convincing CAS that he did
       not intentionally use anabolic steroids.
       Jarrion Lawson, an Olympic sprinter and long jumper for the
       United States, won a major victory in his doping case before the
       Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland on March 9, 2020.
       The three-judge panel unanimously overturned a provisional
       four-year suspension for doping.
       Lawson tested positive for traces of epitrenbolone, a metabolite
       of the popular steroid trenbolone, in June 2018. The
       International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF)
       suspended him for four years as a result. This caused him to
       miss the entire 2019 athletics season.
       Jarrion Lawson always denied using anabolic steroids.
       Lawson always maintained that he never knowingly used anabolic
       steroids. Lawson’s defense team presented evidence that the
       trenbolone positive was the result of eating beef that had been
       contaminated with trenbolone.
       Lawson proved that the trenbolone came from a beef bowl ordered
       at a Japanese steakhouse in Arkansas on June 2, 2018. Cows are
       regularly injected with trenbolone acetate and testosterone
       propionate as growth promoters in the United States. The use of
       these anabolic steroids is perfectly legal in the United States
       as long as the steroid residue falls below certain thresholds.
       Lawson is immediately eligible to compete once again. He last
       competed over 20 months ago at the 2018 IAAF Diamond League meet
       in London in July 2018.
       Lawson placed placed fourth in the long jump at the 2016 Rio de
       Janeiro Olympics. He won the silver medal in the long jump at
       the 2017 IAAF World Championships in Athletics in London.
       Lawson is now eligible to compete at the U.S. Olympic trials in
       June 2020. He hopes to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Summer
       Olympics.
