Penny Oleksiak, a Canadian swimmer, faced two years of restricted swimming privileges following positive anti-doping tests during the 2022 World Championships in Budapest. The tests revealed a past positive result for a prohibited substance. The Canadian Swimming Federation has implemented a rigorous testing protocol and has issued a formal ban, prohibiting Oleksiak from participating in competitive events until the matter is resolved. The Canadian Swimming Federation stated they are committed to ensuring fair competition and upholding the integrity of the sport. The ban is a consequence of the previous violation and represents a significant development in the ongoing efforts to combat doping within the sport.
