COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Paralympic track and field athlete Matthew Brown has been suspended after testing positive for marijuana.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency banned Brown for three months starting July 12 but reduced the sanction to time served after he completed a USADA program. The agency says in cases involving marijuana there could be a “credible nondoping explanation.”
Brown lost his results from the 2011 U.S. Paralympic Track & Field Championships last month.
The 35-year-old Brown is from Idalou, Texas. He throws the discus and shot put, and was on the U.S. team at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics.
