    Kiwi athletes are warned to be careful of their attire, after a first-of-its-kind doping case

    Kiwi athletes are warned to be careful of their attire, after a first-of-its-kind doping case

    29 June 2025
    An American athlete tested positive for a performance enhancing drug last year, before proving it got into his system through compression shorts he'd borrowed from a teammate, who later admitted to doping.

    The Sport Integrity Commission's Chief Executive Rebecca Rolls says cases of contamination through skin are rare, but it's a growing topic within the anti-doping community.

    She says it's a real eye-opener.
