Olympic 100m hurdles champion Brianna McNeal has been provisionally suspended for doping violations, the Integrity Unit (AIU) announced on Thursday. The 29-year-old American, who claimed Olympic gold in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and also won world gold in Moscow in 2013, was charged with “tampering” with part of a doping control, the AIU said. McNeal, who won Olympic and world golds while running under her maiden name of Rollins, is owner of the joint fourth-fastest run in 100m hurdles history, having clocked 12.26 seconds in Des Moines in 2013.
