TIL Desk Sports/ Australian Olympic swimmer Thomas Fraser-Holmes will appeal a 12-month International Swimming Federation (FINA) ban which would see him miss the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Swimming Australia confirmed on Friday.
On Wednesday, FINA announced that Fraser-Holmes would be banned from competition for 12 months after he missed three out-of-competition drug tests, while fellow swimmer and Olympic silver medallist Madeline Groves is yet to face a hearing for the same charge. Open water swimmer Jarrod Poort is also under investigation for the same offence.
In a statement released on Friday, Swimming Australia confirmed that Fraser-Holmes would appeal the decision. “Swimming Australia is aware that the FINA Doping Panel have conducted a hearing regarding Thomas Fraser-Holmes’ alleged breaches and have announced a sanction of 12 months,” the statement said.
