 Briane Harris' team released a statement Tuesday confirming a positive test for a banned substance ahead of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. (photo: Anil Mungal, GSOC) Team Kerri Einarson released the following statement in response to Harris' B-sample also confirming a positive test for the banned substance Ligandrol, with Harris now facing a suspension for up to four years. "In mid-February, Briane found out she received a positive test for a banned substance. As a result, she is subject to a provisional suspension from competition until a final decision has been reached." "As best can be determined at this time, Briane was unknowingly exposed to this substance through bodily contact. She has retained counsel and is seeking to clear her name." "Late last week, Briane's B Sample confirmed the trace presence of the banned substance. Any silence from Briane, Team Einarson, Curling Canada, or any of the other parties familiar with this matter, was simply due to the need to maintain strict confidentiality while the B sample was being test." "We will continue to have Briane's back and stand by her through this process. We remain focused on finishing the season on a strong note and will curl to the best of our abilities for our team, our families, sponsors and our fans. This will be our only statement on the situation." "Thank you for your ongoing support." |
