medications for years below the anti-doping threshold. However, UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) notified Lizzy Banks of returning an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) for formoterol, a medication for asthma, and chlortalidone, a diuretic, despite her history of using the asthma medication well below the anti-doping threshold. UKAD initially wanted a two-year ban, which Lizzy contested, leading to a tribunal. Surprisingly, UKAD concluded that Lizzy showed “No Fault or Negligence,” clearing her of any wrongdoing. This decision marked the first time UKAD has issued a finding of No Fault or Negligence without identifying the exact source of contamination, shedding light on the failures and inconsistencies within the anti-doping system.
