CrossFit announced two new Games athletes previously unknown tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. Both were tested during competition at the CrossFit Games. All athletes are appealing.
This brings the total of positive tests from testing at the Games to four:
- Bernard Luzi, winner of the Masters Men 50-54 division.
- George Simonds-Gooding, 2nd in the men’s Neuromuscular division.
- Stéphanie Roy, 4th in the Masters Women 40-44 division.
