V 13 N. 69 You're Never Too Young - Issam Asinga Busted For 'Alleged' Doping

 Listen, Issam, this stuff is good, maybe even better than mushrooms or Red Bull.  You gotta try it just 

once.    

Next thing we’ll know is that his NIL $$$ paid for drugs.

Good lord, there is no end to what money can ruin.  Roy B.

Well, the kid is just above legal age.  Probably easily influenced by all that sudden fame, beating Lyles.

Think of all the vultures hanging around these kids, parental pressure.  bling.    Just look at the so called 'basketball academies" to get a whiff.    George

This hot off the press from the Associated Press.   *

*note this is just a 'provisional' suspension while further investigation are being made.

If B tests prove negative, he could still be in Budapest and not as a spectator.

MONACO (AP) — The Florida teenager who beat Noah Lyles in a 100 meter race in 

April has been suspended for a positive doping test, track and field investigators said

 Friday.

The Athletics Integrity Unit said it issued 18-year-old Issam Asinga with a “notice of 

allegation” about a positive test for GW1516, a banned substance with a notorious 

reputation.

Asinga is provisionally suspended from competing while the AIU prosecutes the case.

Just two weeks ago, Asinga set an Under-20 world record of 9.89 seconds running for Suriname at the South American championships in Brazil. It was also a South American senior record.

Asinga made his reputation beating Lyles in April in a wind-assisted 

9.83. 

Lyles is the world champion over 200 and a likely favorite also for 

the 100 title this month at the worlds in Budapest, Hungary.

The teenager also ran a sub-20 time in the 200 in April, clocking 19.97 at Lubbock, 

Texas.

 He reportedly has committed to attending college at Texas A&M.

GW1516 was developed to help build endurance and burn fat but failed medical trials

 when found to cause cancer during tests on rodents.

The World Anti-Doping Agency warned athletes in 2013 the substance was a toxic 

threat to health if used as a performance enhancer.

The AIU gave no timetable to process Asinga’s case.
