In other records news, Keturah Orji’s American Indoor Record in the triple jump was rejected for no drug testing. It sounds like they had trouble getting a drug tester to her location quickly enough, but I’m not sure
In the Women’s 800, you may recall that Ajee Wilson broke the indoor record, only to fail a drug test and have it taken away. Charlene Lipsey was second in the race and also surpassed the record.
Unfortunately, she was not drug tested at the event (or within 24 hours) so her record was not ratified.
If a US athlete on US soil surpasses the currently ratified American record in one of the events that requires drug testing, it is imperative that someone from USATF be contacted ASAP so that USADA can test the athlete within 24 hours.
Outside the US, if an athlete has to pay someone for their test (drug tests cost money and meet directors often don’t want to bear the cost of an extra test), USATF will reimburse them.
