德国短跑运动员欧文·安萨在英国伯明翰举行的欧洲田径锦标赛中以19.95秒的成绩赢得200米金牌[1]。这是安萨在本次锦标赛上获得的第二枚奖牌，他此前还在100米项目中获得铜牌[1]。
然而，安萨的胜利受到兴奋剂违规指控的影响。德国国家反兴奋剂机构指控他违反《国家反兴奋剂守则》第2.3条，即拒绝或未能提交样本收集[1]。该机构要求对安萨禁赛四年[1]。安萨本人解释称，反兴奋剂官员在他前往摩纳哥期间来到他家进行赛外检测，当时他无法立即提供尿样[1]。
根据程序规定，安萨有20天时间要么接受判罚，要么在德国体育仲裁法院提起诉讼[1]。2024年6月，前温布尔顿冠军马克塔·冯德罗索娃因同样原因被禁赛四年[1]。
Owen Ansah of Germany claimed the 200-meter gold medal at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham with a time of 19.95 seconds, marking his second medal at the competition after securing bronze in the 100 meters [1]. However, the sprinter now faces serious sanctions following allegations by Germany's National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) that he failed or refused to comply with an out-of-competition doping test [1].
NADA has accused Ansah of violating Section 2.3 of the National Anti-Doping Code—which covers refusal or failure to submit to sample collection—and has called for a four-year ban from competition [1]. According to Ansah's account, anti-doping officials arrived at his home to conduct the out-of-competition test while he was preparing to travel to Monaco, and he was unable to immediately provide a urine sample at that time [1]. The athlete has 20 days to either accept the sanction or lodge an appeal with Germany's sports arbitration court [1]. The case echoes a similar incident from June 2024, when former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova received a four-year suspension for refusing to undergo testing [1].
