WORLD and Olympic 100-meter champion Shelly-Ann Fraser of Jamaica was suspended for six months on Wednesday because of a failed doping test.
Athletics' governing body IAAF said Fraser will be ineligible to compete until January 7 after a positive test for the drug oxycodone at the Diamond League meet May 23 in Shanghai. At the time, she claimed she took a painkiller because of a toothache. Fraser had a dental procedure performed shortly before flying to China for the meet where she tested positive. Fraser, who had already been provisionally suspended by the IAAF in June, won the 100 at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
