Price tests positive for substance


Story Tools

COLORADO SPRINGS, United States -- U.S women's hammer champion Melissa Price has become the fourth American track and field athlete to test positive for THG.

Price, 24, tested positive for the banned substance twice last year, at the U.S championships at Stanford, California on June 19 and from an out-of-competition test on July 29.

Price is disputing the results and will file an appeal.

"Athletes can dispute the results, accept them or take the case to arbitration," said Rich Wanninger, spokesman for the United States Anti-Doping Agency.

Britain's European 100 meters champion Dwain Chambers has already tested positive for the steroid THG.

According to U.S reports shot putter Kevin Toth, hammer thrower John McEwen and middle distance runner Regina Jacobs have also tested positive.

Price is married to British shot putter Carl Myerscough, who has already served a two-year ban for failing a drugs test.
