FORMER world indoor 400-meter champion Debbie Dunn has withdrawn from the United States Olympic team and is being investigated by the US Anti-Doping Agency after an abnormal drug test, she said on Friday.
"I have been informed by the US Anti-Doping Agency that a sample I gave at the US Olympic trials contains an elevated testosterone/epitestosterone level," Dunn said in a statement. "While I work with USADA to resolve this matter, I am withdrawing from my relay pool position for the 2012 Olympic Games."
Dunn finished fourth in the 400 at the US trials last month and was a member of the US 4x400 relay pool announced this week. She won the 2010 world indoor 400 championship.
USADA officials confirmed her test was being reviewed.
"USADA appreciates Ms. Dunn voluntarily removing herself from the Olympic team while the full facts surrounding her elevated T/E ratio and adverse carbon isotope ratio analysis are evaluated," Travis Tygart, the anti-doping agency's chief executive, said in a statement.
"We are currently processing the B sample, and as in all cases all athletes are innocent until and unless proven otherwise."
