Olympian Peter Bol’s provisional doping suspension lifted after B sample test returned

• The relief I am feeling is hard to describe,' says 800m runner
• Original A sample has showed signs of synthetic EPO

Peter Bol, whose athletics career was in the balance after failing an out of competition doping test last year, has said he has been cleared after a B sample did not match the original A sample, as Sport Integrity Australia continues its investigations.

Bol, who finished fourth in the 800m at the Tokyo Olympics, was provisionally suspended by Athletics Australia in January after a urine test showed signs of synthetic EPO, a performance-enhancing agent that is on the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned list.
