“The Charge will be heard by the Disciplinary Tribunal and determined before the World Athletics Championships.
“In this section of the site, we list the Provisional Suspensions currently in force. Some of these cases remain under investigation, while others are the subject of a notice of charge and so will also appear on the list of Pending First Instance cases.”
