Palmer finished sixth in that race, and was randomly selected for a drug test. The results of that urine sample \u201cshowed low levels of a prohibitive substance,\u201d according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/fina-releases-statement-explaining-kylie-palmer-drug-testing\/\" target=\"_blank\">a press release from FINA earlier this year<\/a>. Subsequent urine and blood samples a day later \u2013 when Palmer was part of Australia\u2019s silver medal-winning 800 free relay \u2013 showed no trace of that substance.<\/p>\n<p>Until today\u2019s announcement, the name of the illegal substance that was found in Palmer\u2019s sample had not been publicly identified. But now we know that it was <strong>furosemide<\/strong>, a diuretic that can act as a masking agent for other drugs.<\/p>\n<p>The World Anti-Doping Agency got involved this past February, and during the appeal process, Palmer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/kylie-palmer-banned-from-competing-at-worlds\/\" target=\"_blank\">withdrew from Australia\u2019s world championships team<\/a> while the appeal was underway. Palmer appears to have proven that the illegal substance was taken unintentionally, and since it was her first drug violation, avoided a possible two-year or four-year suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Though FINA has decided to not give Palmer an official suspension for the positive drug test in 2013, her result from the 200 free final will be nullified. Had she won any money as a result of that finish, her prize money would also have to be returned.<\/p>\n<p>The silver medal Palmer won as part of the 800 free relay will not be revoked, according to the FINA announcement about the decision.<\/p>\n<p>Palmer will now look ahead to April\u2019s Olympic Trials in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Swimming Australia released the following statement regarding FINA&#8217;s decision:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Swimming Australia fully supported the process once the matter came before the FINA Doping Tribunal and accepts the findings. <\/p>\n<p>Swimming Australia\u2019s concern throughout the process was the two year delay in informing the athlete of the positive test that occurred in 2013 and the issues that this created for Kylie Palmer throughout the process.<\/p>\n<p>Swimming Australia will continue to work with the Australian Government, the Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Olympic Committee to combat the menace of doping and remains a strong supporter of the fight against performance-enhancing drugs and other forms of doping, in both swimming and all sport.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian freestyler Kylie Palmer has dodged any further suspension from competition by FINA, as the world organization
