Adaejah Hodge served a 17-month suspension after testing positive for metabolites of the banned metabolic modulator GW501516. The ban ran from August 28, 2024, to January 28, 2026, after investigators determined the ingestion was unintentional and she received a seven-month reduction for cooperating with the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU). [1, 2]
Case & Sanction Details

• Substance: GW501516 (also known as Cardarine), a banned performance enhancer. [1]
• Origin: Investigators and the AIU agreed Hodge, who was in high school at the time, ingested the substance unknowingly. Her former coach, Gerald Phiri, was later suspended by the AIU amid allegations of supplying prohibited substances and obstructing investigations. [1, 2, 3]
• The Ban: Hodge originally faced a two-year ban, which was reduced to 17 months after she provided "substantial assistance" to anti-doping authorities. [1, 2]
• Return to Competition: Her suspension concluded in late January, making her fully eligible to race as of January 28, 2026. [1, 2]

I looked up her pb in the 100m dash and she has a time of 10.63 at 20???

I'm not disputing her age as the photo I have seen she looks about that but who would believe a 20 year old could run a near world record at that age(I'm throwing out the windy Flo Jo time as nobody believes that should be legal).

She must have been on a Bolt type designer PED regiment to run that time at 20...
