Earlier this morning, it was reported<\/a> that U.S. National Team member\u00a0Madisyn Cox<\/strong><\/a> has been handed a two year doping suspension by FINA.<\/p>\n

The reason for suspension was listed as Trimetazidine, which is listed as a Class 4.5.4 (hormones and metabolites) according to WADA’s prohibited list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Swimming World<\/i>\u00a0has been in contact with Cox and received the following statement:<\/p>\n

FINA made public earlier today that I\u2019ve been sanctioned for two years because I unintentionally ingested a prohibited substance, Trimetazidine, an unfathomably low amount of which was detected in an out-of-competition urine sample provided on February 5, 2018. I had never heard of this substance prior to receiving the test results.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FINA Hearing Panel reviewed all of the evidence, including lab reports demonstrating very low parts per billion concentrations of the prohibited substance in my sample. A world-renowned biochemist who<\/span>\u00a0reviewed my case compared the extraordinarily low level detected equal to \u201ca pinch of salt in an Olympic size swimming pool.\u201d At such a trace level, the substance provided me with no performance benefit of any kind.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FINA Hearing Panel considered (1) the low level in my urine, (2) that no Trimetazidine was detected in my hair sample, and (3) my in-person testimony. The Panel found that I was \u201can honest, very hardworking and highly credible athlete who is not a \u2018cheat.\u2019\u201d They believed my testimony, stating that my case was \u201chighly credible.\u201d As a result, the Panel reduced the sanction from a potential four year period to two years \u2013 which has happened only one other time in history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately the Panel determined that I was not eligible for a finding of \u201cNo Fault\u201d because I could not<\/span>\u00a0prove the \u201clikely source\u201d of the 0.1 ng\/ml of Trimetazidine in my urine. While the scientific expert who<\/span>\u00a0reviewed my case believes that I unknowingly ingested the Trimetazidine through tap water consumed the night before the test, the Panel determined that more scientific evidence was needed to prove this. The presence of pharmaceuticals like Trimetazidine in U.S. drinking water is well documented, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has studied the levels of pharmaceuticals in the drinking water of certain cities across the United States. Also unfortunately for me, there haven\u2019t been any studies like this done in Austin, Texas, where I live and train.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Panel noted that \u201ccontaminated water\u201d was certainly a possible source of the banned substance, but it could not find that it was the \u201clikely source\u201d without more testing data on the presence of pharmaceuticals in the Austin, Texas water supply. I currently am looking into whether such testing is possible. I also am considering whether to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since my test result, I have learned the hard way about the harshness of the anti-doping rules. Because a microscopic amount of a prohibited substance was detected in my urine, I am sanctioned for two years despite the FINA Hearing Panel finding that my ingestion was unintentional and that I am not a \u201ccheat\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am devastated. I honestly believed through this entire process that I would receive a No Fault ruling, due to the strength of my case, a completely clean hair sample, dozens and dozens of clean tests and a history of carrying myself with honor and integrity throughout my academic and swimming career. I stand on my personal and competitive reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have not taken and will never take short cuts to be the very best. I have been training this entire past year to compete at U.S. Nationals with the goal of representing my family, team and the United States at the Pan Pacific Championships and the 2019 FINA World Championships. <\/span><\/p>\n

As I endure these next weeks and months, I would anticipate and appreciate your understanding, and hope you respect that this statement is complete and stands as my only public comments at this time.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
