Sport Integrity Australia will undertake an independent review of the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Program at the Western Australian Institute of Sport.
Australian swimmer Shayna Jack has returned to the pool for the first time in two years as her two-year doping ban finally ends.
The World Championships and Commonwealth Games medallist was one of the rising stars of the pool until her world came crashing down in 2019.
Jack, 22, tested positive to banned muscle-builder Ligandrol, leaving her swimming career and Tokyo Olympics hopes in tatters.
She appealed her four-year ban and had it halved late last year after the Court of Arbitration for Sport found she did not knowingly ingest the prohibited substance.
Sport Integrity Australia is appealing the reduced sentence, but for now she is free to train and compete - and wasted no time diving back in.

Sarah Ritchie was just five years old when she started gymnastics and eight when, she claims, her coaches started weighing her.
As an “extremely underweight” child, Sarah claims she was held up to other children as the golden example of how their scales should read.
“We were weighed twice a day,” Sarah told
The Feed.
“And what I found horrific was watching my friends run to the toilet to try and evacuate anything they could to have a lower weight.”
“It wasn t uncommon in our era for gymnasts to strip naked to step onto those scales because they wanted to not even have the weight of the leotard impacting on their weight.”
