美国选手奈顿兴奋剂案，被提起上诉！

针对曾在兴奋剂检查中被发现阳性但仍获准参加巴黎奥运会的美国田径选手埃里扬·奈顿，田径诚信委员会 （AIU） 14日宣布，已经就此向国际体育仲裁法庭 （CAS） 提起上诉。

The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced on Wednesday that it has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the case relating to American sprinter Erriyon Knighton who was allowed to compete at Paris 2024 after being cleared over a doping case.

奈顿在今年3月26日的兴奋剂赛外检查中被发现类固醇（群勃龙）阳性。但美国反兴奋剂机构 （USADA）在巴黎奥运会国内预选赛开始前突然作出决定，宣称奈顿的阳性结果是由运动员食用了受污染的肉类引起的，决定不对其实施禁赛处罚，并允许他最终代表美国参加巴黎奥运会。

Knighton tested positive for the banned steroid trenbolone during an out-of-competition test on March 26. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) opted not to impose a suspension, attributing the positive result to contaminated meat. This decision allowed Knighton to compete in the Paris Olympics qualifiers, a move that has sparked widespread concern.

在巴黎奥运会田径男子200米决赛中，奈顿名列第四。赛后，奈顿没有在混合采访区接受记者采访就匆匆离开。根据AIU官网记录，对于奈顿的上诉时间是8月8日，也就是200米决赛的当天。

The 20-year-old eventually ranked fourth in the final of men's 200m in Paris, and he refused any interviews after the race, leaving reporters waiting in vain.

在AIU的社交媒体评论区，有网友表示：“这是一场阴谋。如果他是肯尼亚人，他甚至不会被允许参加选拔赛。”还有人说：“这并不奇怪。周围的人对他出现在巴黎保持沉默，反倒让我感到很震惊。”

"I smell conspiracy. He was cleared in time for the Olympics then immediately after his case resumes. If he were Kenyan he wouldn't have been even allowed for trials," commented a Twitter user. "No surprise, I was pretty shocked about the silence around his presence in Paris," another user said.

独立于世界田联的田径诚信委员会成立于2017年，该机构成立的目的是消除一切可能影响到田径运动诚信的威胁。

Having been founded in 2017, AIU is an independent organization that manages all threats to the integrity of the sport of athletics.
