Lausanne, Switzerland - South African cyclist S’annara Grove has been provisionally suspended due to a failed doping test, the International Testing Agency announced on Friday. Grove's sample, collected during the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on July 28, tested positive for ipamorelin, a prohibited synthetic peptide used to stimulate the body's natural production of growth hormone.
The ITA informed Grove of the case, and she now has the right to challenge the provisional suspension. The 32-year-old cyclist, who did not medal in her track cycling events at the Commonwealth Games, is represented by the Smurfit Westrock team and is currently competing in the Tour of Britain. The third stage of the race took place on Friday.
Grove has not yet commented on the ITA's announcement, and Smurfit Westrock and the South African cycling team have not provided a statement. Grove had been set to compete in the road world championships in Montreal in September.
