The bizarre doping case surrounding French fencing star Ysaora Thibus has (almost) been concluded. The 32-year-old Frenchwoman was able to prove that the banned product ostarine had entered her body through her partner.
At the beginning of March, France became captivated by an absurd doping story.
Foil fencer Ysaora Thibus tested positive for the banned substance ostarine, a product that promotes muscle growth, during the World Cup in Paris.
Thibus herself, the 2022 world champion, immediately proclaimed her innocence.
According to the 32-year-old Frenchwoman, the banned substance had entered her body after sexual contact with her fiancé Race Imboden, an ex-fencer.
“He used a product that contained ostarine and thus infected Ysaora,” Thibus’ lawyer said at the time.

Hair and nail locks
And what turns out now? The lovemaking is indeed the cause of the entire soap opera.
Comparative analyzes of hair and nail locks show that the banned product ostarine entered her body through the body fluids of Thibus’ fiancée.
“A lot of emotions and joy,” is the first reaction of Thibus, who was acquitted by the anti-doping court of the international fencing federation.
“This is also a huge relief physically (because Thibus did not have access to federal training capabilities for the past 3.5 months).”
“I have fenced almost every day since I was 7. It has been mentally difficult not to be able to do that lately.”
But Thibus was allowed to train in private halls or abroad. “Physically I am ready for the Games.”
Thibus therefore seems to be able to participate in the Games in his own country.
But the international fencing association and the world anti-doping agency WADA can still throw a spanner in the works.
They have 21 days to appeal.
