Swiss sprinter Alex Wilson has been ruled out of Tokyo 2020 after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reinstated a provisional suspension.
An out-of-competition sample collected from Wilson on March 15 revealed the presence of a metabolite of an anabolic steroid trenbolone.
The substance is banned at all times.
Wilson claimed the presence of the prohibited substance was caused by contaminated beef he ate in a Jamaican restaurant in the United States.
He challenged a provisional suspension at the disciplinary chamber of Swiss Olympic, and succeeded in having the decision lifted on July 2.
