Latest anti-doping news from around the world:

United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) announced British amateur cyclist Matthew Hutt has been banned 6 years after testing positive for 4 different Anabolic Androgenic Steroid substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency. The 22 year-old BMX racer tested positive In-Competition on 7 July 2024 for Testosterone at the BMX National Series held in Birmingham and then for Metandienone Metabolites, Nandrolone and Drostanolone Out-Of-Competion at his home on 25 July 2024. UKAD decided the presence of multiple banned substances amounted to Aggravating Circumstances and increased Hutt’s sanction by 2 years on top of the standard 4 years. He is prohibited from participating in sport in any capacity until 14 August 2031. UKAD case decision HERE.

Also, the International Testing Agency (ITA) reports 31 year-old amateur athlete Pedro Afonso Pinto Gaspar, a triathlete from Portugal, has been provisionally suspended after allegedly returning a positive anti-doping test result In-Competition on 29 June 2025 for the prohibited substance Mesterolone – an Anabolic Androgenic Steroid. One month earlier he won the Portuguese Middle Distance Triathlon National Championship.

Note: Provisionally suspended athletes are presumed innocent until an anti-doping court renders a verdict, but in the meantime they are not allowed to participate in sport in any capacity.
