COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Gymnast Morgan Hamm, who was selected for his third Olympic team last month, received a warning Thursday for getting a prescribed anti-inflammatory shot without the proper clearance from anti-doping authorities.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said Thursday that Hamm tested positive May 24 at the U.S. gymnastics championships for a glucocorticosteroid, a cortisone-like drug that is only allowed during competitions with an exemption.
“It was an innocent mistake,” Hamm said. “You always need to get the forms, that’s the most important thing, and that’s my failure.”
