Shawnti Jackson receives public warning from USADA

Shawnti Jackson, a 19-year-old standout sprinter, accepted a public warning from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for receiving iron infusions exceeding the permitted volume without obtaining a Therapeutic Use Exemption. Between September 12, 2023, and September 3, 2024, Jackson underwent four out-of-competition iron infusions under physician care, each surpassing the 100 mL per 12-hour limit and not associated with hospital treatments, surgeries, or clinical diagnostics. Although no prohibited substances were administered, the infusions violated anti-doping regulations due to their volume and lack of a TUE; Jackson has since been granted a TUE for future treatments.
