Philippines' Brownlee fails Asiad drugs test

The American-born Brownlee tested positive for the banned Carboxy-THC, the Lausanne-based International Testing Agency (ITA) said. Carboxy-THC is linked to cannabis use.

"The sample was collected by the ITA at the Asian Games Hangzhou during an in-competition anti-doping control performed on Oct 7, 2023. The athlete has been informed of the case. He has the right to request the analysis of the B-samples," the ITA said.

The Philippines beat Jordan 7060 in the men's basketball final on Oct 6 with Brownlee pouring in 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

Separately, the ITA said that Jordan basketball player Sami Bzai had tested positive for a banned steroid. He also has the right to request the analysis of the B-samples. It takes the total number of known doping cases at the Games to 10.
