There is hope for her yet.

All she has to do is prove the same thing as the US Athlete did, but she can't just insist that she should be cleared just because "it might be possible".
The US anti-doping agency announced on Monday that Olympic karate hopeful Joane Orbon would be banned for nine months for testing positive for di-hydroxy-LGD-4033, which is a metabolite of Lignadrol.

The reduced ban was handed down because the 24-year-old was able to prove that her positive test was brought about by a contaminated dietary supplement. Orbon provided USADA with details of the supplement in question, which she said she had been using when she provided a urine sample.

A WADA accredited lab found evidence of some contaminated batches of the product and that the banned supplement in question wasn't listed on the label. As a result USADA took into account the irregularities and cut the proposed ban.

The case will provide Jack with a strong precedent to prove she didn't knowingly take a banned substance but cases over the years have failed to soften the stance of anti-doping authorities.

Most athletes facing similar sanctions for the same drug have been hit with four year bans. Although, Japanese swimmer Junya Koga recently had his suspension reduced to two years after appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
