Mariana Bernal, a world champion archer from Mexico, is banned for three years after testing positive for an anabolic steroid. The International Testing Agency (ITA) announces the sanction, noting that the prohibited substance is detected in a test conducted about three weeks after Bernal helps win a team gold medal against the United States. Sources report that Bernal does not contest the doping decision. The ban runs for three years, with the ITA specifying that it remains in effect until after the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The suspension is tied to the doping rule violation following the positive steroid result, and it prevents her from competing during the sanction period. Both outlets describe the same core elements: Bernal’s status as a world champion, the timing of the positive test relative to her recent competition, the specific category of substance (anabolic steroid), and the three-year length of the ban. No additional details about the circumstances of the test or the substance level are provided in the reports.
