Olympic champion Oleksiak suspended for two years

Olympic swimming champion Penny Oleksiak has been banned for two years for missing three doping tests within twelve months.

The 100m freestyle champion from the 2016 Games is Canada's most successful Olympian; she was only 16 years old when she triumphed in Rio de Janeiro. The ban on the seven-time Olympic and 13-time World Championship medalist runs until July 14, 2027. All her achievements since June 16, 2025, have been nullified.
