FILE - An athlete trains before the World Athletics Championships, Thursday, July 14, 2022, in Eugene, Ore. Shortly after last year’s Olympics, the urine samples of some six dozen athletes came back with traces of a banned stimulant. Career-altering penalties loomed. But they were avoided thanks to some nimble sleuthing by anti-doping scientists in the U.S. and Germany. The scientists discovered the stimulant could be found in an ingredient present in an over-the-counter sunscreen. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull, File)
