The French hurdler received notification of his positive test last Friday from the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD).

“The preferred route is of course a food supplement, he continues. However, I am very careful with the brands I have worked with for years. I haven’t recently taken any new products compared to usual. I will speak again after the meeting with the AFLD.” Dimitri Bascou was aiming, at the age of 36, to qualify for the Paris 2024 Games. Last October, he launched an online prize pool to help him finance his preparation for the event.
