Could Ysaora Thibus have been contaminated with a doping product without her knowledge? In any case, this is what the fencer will try to prove after her positive test for ostarine on January 14. The objective: to be cleared in order to be able to participate in the Paris Olympic Games in five months.
The foilist’s lawyer, Me Joëlle Monlouis, has even already announced that she knows the source of the contamination: her companion, the former American fencer Race Imboden. “The transmission which allowed this contamination took place through bodily fluids,” explained the lawyer in the columns of The Team. By that, mean during sexual intercourse or at least intimate contact. But is this thesis really plausible?
