After an arduous year in which she had to withdraw from Australia\u2019s world championship team<\/a> while appealing her provisional suspension for a two-year-old positive drug test, Kylie Palmer<\/strong> is now ready to turn her focus to the Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old tested positive for furosemide on July 31, 2013, the day she placed sixth in the 200 free at the world championships. FINA had determined that the A and B samples from that urine test were the only ones that contained furosemide among the various tests Palmer was submitted to on July 31 and August 1. The case went to the World Anti-Doping Agency, who wanted to investigate the matter further. As such, Palmer was put on provisional suspension earlier this year pending the results of WADA\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n

Now, Palmer is speaking out on the ruling, saying she is \u201cvery pleased that the decision of the Panel means I can return to competitive swimming immediately.\u201d She has about seven months to get race ready for the Australian Olympic Trials, where she would be viewed as a heavy favorite to earn a spot on the Olympic team in the 200 free and 800 free relay.<\/p>\n

Below is the statement released by Palmer\u2019s team:<\/p>\n

Kylie Palmer welcomes the decision by the FINA Doping Panel overnight to impose a warning and a reprimand in respect of the anti-doping rule violation arising from sample she provided at the FINA World Championships in Barcelona on 31 July 2013. <\/p>\n

Kylie said, \u201cI am very pleased that the decision of the Panel means that I can return to competitive swimming immediately. My number one goal is to represent Australia at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and I cannot wait to get back on track to achieving that dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kylie notes that the FINA Doping Panel has not yet delivered its reasons for the decision and is conscious of the fact that the decision may be appealed. <\/p>\n

\u201cI sincerely hope that this process is now over. It has been a distressing few months since I was first notified of the positive test back in April 2015. Since that time I made the decision to accept a provisional suspension and missed the FINA World Championships in Kazan. I cannot get back that opportunity to represent my country internationally but I am now looking to the future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Kylie has no idea how the prohibited substance came into her system despite extensive investigations into the matter which were made near impossible by the passage of time between the provision of the sample (July 2013) and notification to her of that result (April 2015). Kylie categorically denies knowingly taking any prohibited substance in Barcelona in July 2013 or at any time in her career. Kylie has always been a strong supporter of the anti-doping measures undertaken by FINA and has prided herself on being a successful clean swimmer.<\/p>\n

Kylie thanks her family and friends for their support. Due to the ongoing nature of the anti-doping proceedings, she is unable to comment further at this time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
