LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Laurence Vincent Lapointe will learn if she is eligible to compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics within the next 30 days.
Lapointe, from Trois-Rivieres, Que., attended a closed hearing before the International Canoe Federation’s anti-doping panel on Monday.
Trace amounts of Ligandrol were found in her system during a doping control conducted on July 29.
Lapointe, a former world champion in the C-1 200-metre event, has been provisionally suspended. If the punishment is upheld she will not be allowed to compete at next year’s Summer Games.
