Montrezl Dashay Harrell and Troy Akeem Gillenwater had substance found in cannabis in their systems
The Chinese Anti-Doping Agency has released the names of two American basketball players who failed in-competition tests in April during the domestic league.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Chinese Basketball Association said it had been notified by the agency of doping violations involving Montrezl Dashay Harrell and Troy Akeem Gillenwater.
It said both players tested positive for Carboxy-THC and that both have given up the right to have their “B” samples tested. The CBA said it would impose penalties on the players once the anti-doping agency had made a final decision on the case.
Carboxy-THC is found in cannabis. The World Anti-Doping Agency bans all forms of psychoactive cannabinoids during in-competition periods.
