German sprinter Owen Ansah has rejected a proposed four-year ban from Germany's National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) following allegations of refusing to provide a doping test sample. NADA suggested the suspension on Friday, stating that Ansah allegedly refused to give a sample when the drug tester arrived outside the testing time frame he had given.
Ansah claimed he was running late and unable to provide a sample at such short notice. He also noted that he had recently used the toilet. Ansah had been granted 20 days to either accept NADA's findings or request disciplinary proceedings at the German Sports Arbitration Court.
