Owen Ansah, European Champion in the 200 meters, has rejected the four-year ban proposed by the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA) due to a refused doping test. He is calling for a disciplinary hearing and has submitted a corresponding application to the German Sports Arbitration Court.

Despite the looming ban, Ansah's eligibility to compete remains intact for now. However, the sprinter is currently battling an injury that could hinder his participation in future competitions.

NADA and Ansah have differing views on the situation, necessitating a hearing before the Sports Arbitration Court. The exact details of the case and the positions of both parties remain unclear.
