Giving new meaning to French Kiss is this story from The Athletic:

"The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has cleared French Olympic fencer Ysaora Thibus of an anti-doping rule violation after judges accepted the contamination was due to kissing her former partner.

Following an in-person hearing at headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland in March, CAS issued a verdict Monday saying its judges accepted Thibus’ contamination was due to kissing her then-partner over a period of nine days who had been consuming ostarine without her knowledge, dismissing an appeal made by WADA which sought a four-year ban for the French athlete."

CAS clearly gives extra points for creativity and originality leaving me to think Aaron Brooks wasn't trying hard enough.

Maybe Brooks and her can get together and start a family. 

idk when you're on cycle I'm pretty sure the swimmers aren't working very well.....

When I saw this title I assumed someone had somehow placed 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th in some sort of individual sport.

The headline that the metabolite of Ligandrol, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), got into Simmonds’ system through intimate relations with her partner, who — unbeknownst to her was taking PEDs while trying to improve his physique — is, as so often in similar cases and as social media proves, easy to scoff at.

Curler:

Quote

In the 15-page CAS decision forwarded by Harris' lawyers, the curler argued she did not know nor suspect that her husband had been consuming Ligandrol, or that intimate contact represented a risk of contamination with prohibited substances.

11-time world champion canoer:

 In 2019, she tested positive for traces of ligandrol. The top athlete denied knowingly taking a forbidden substance that resulted in her suspension from competition. In January 2020, the ICF accepted Lapointe’s evidence which supported that she was the victim of third-party contamination of bodily fluids from her former boyfriend, a sports enthusiast, who took the substance, and cleared her retroactively of all charges to return to training and competition.

Boxer:

Boxer Virginia “Ginny” Fuchs has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) after she successfully argued banned substances found their way into her system through unprotected sex.

Tennis player:

Quote

 

Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska's provisional doping suspension has been lifted with immediate effect as there was no fault or negligence on her part, an independent tribunal under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme said on Tuesday.

Yastremska, 21, was suspended in January after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) found a banned substance in an out-of-competition urine sample she submitted.

She denied using performance-enhancing drugs and said the positive test was the result of a "contamination event."

I don't know why any sport pretends they are clean.  It's clearly a joke at the top level of pretty much every sport.  I feel bad for anybody actually following the rules.
