Australian swimmer Shayna Jack victim of a maximum drug ban by ASADA

Australian swimmer Shayna Jack was advised that she would be subject to a four-year ban on her failed drug testing unless she could prove one way or another. his innocence.

A report from the Daily Telegraph said Jack had been informed of the decision after his samples A and B were made positive for the banned muscle building drug Ligandrol.

The 20-year-old woman will be sentenced to a maximum of four years unless she can prove her innocence and not take the drug, which is clbadified as an anabolic agent.

Previously, Jack had stated that he did not know that she had ingested the drug and had posted the following on Instagram as a result of the publication of the failed test result.

"I did not take this substance knowingly," she posted on Instagram.

"Swimming has been my pbadion since the age of 10 and I would never intentionally take a banned substance that would disrespect my sport or endanger my career."

The swimmer had suggested that she take a contaminated supplement and that is how Ligandrol became in her system.

His lawyers would need to argue and prove that his supplement was stained to prove Jack's innocence.

Former ASADA director Richard Ings told The Daily Telegraph that the four-year ban is the norm.

"I would not draw any conclusion from the four-year ban, this is happening in all areas.The notification of a four-year ban is a common practice in all these matters," said Mr. Ings .

Jack's director, Philip Stoneman, said the swimmer would not dispute the presence of the banned drug in her system.

"I do not think it's a question of Shayna denying anything in her body," Stoneman said Monday.

"What she does, is fight her innocence because it should not be there and she does not know how it went there."

A hard day for Jack, she has already suffered a heavy financial setback when she was banned by the lucrative International Swimming League (ISL).

Jack had been included in the Cali Condors team for the ISL series from October.

But ISL says Jack has been suspended from the league, pending the outcome of his doping case.

ISL General Manager Andrea di Nino said Jack's selection was canceled for the competitions that would be held in Europe and the United States starting in October.

"No violation of doping control rules will be forgotten," said Di Nino in a statement posted on the ISL website.

"This is another case to reiterate our position on the banned substances and doping control rules, and no such behavior will be tolerated.

"From the beginning, ISL has been a champion of transparency and clean sport.

"All athletes with a history of doping control or ethical infractions will be considered ineligible without recourse."

Ukrainian billionaire and swimming fan Konstantin Grigorishin, who has reserved a budget of 20 million US dollars for the initial series, has funded the launch of the ISL, of which 7 million will go to swimmers and teams.

The incident with Jack had already caused a lot of embarrbadment to Australian Swimming, the news of his positive test coming just days after his Dolphins team mate, Mack Horton, protested against the Chinese star and against Sun Yang.

However, Swimming Australia's CEO, Leigh Russell, apparently washed Jack's hands and insisted that his organization was not responsible for the embarrbadment that Horton may have suffered.

"I can understand this feeling (that Horton was thrown under the bus), but what I would say is that Mack and ourselves at Swimming Australia have zero tolerance for drugs and (we have) this policy, "said Monday Russell.

"We supported his position, we already had it at the time and certainly now, and we will continue to adopt a zero tolerance approach to drugs in sport."
