The Swiss record holder in the 100 m and 200 m was convicted by the Swiss Sports Disciplinary Chamber in the summer of 2022 for abuse of anabolic steroids. Because this body needed a year to justify the verdict, Alex Wilson (33) could not have taken legal action again until mid-September 2023. The Basel native, who grew up in Jamaica and always protested his innocence, allowed the CAS deadline to pass unused, reports “CH Media”.
Either Wilson’s lawyers did not see the detailed reasons for the verdict as a promising approach to appealing to the sport’s highest authority, or Wilson feared the costs. The editor of “CH Media”, who conducted extensive research into this case, was unable to contact the athlete. Wilson has completely disappeared.
In fact, no one seems to be able to find him at the moment. Wilson’s whereabouts are unknown and his cell phone number no longer works.
A four-year ban is legally binding
Because neither the sprinter, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), nor the anti-doping department of the International Athletics Federation (Athletics Integrity Unit) are challenging the verdict, the four-year ban imposed by the Swiss Sports Disciplinary Chamber is legally binding. . According to “CH Media,” Wilson will now face a second case involving the possible purchase of anabolic steroids, EPO and growth hormones. A return to top sport is therefore virtually impossible.
The 33-year-old was at his peak as an athlete in 2018 with European Championship bronze in the 200 m and in 2019 with the still valid Swiss records in the 100 m (10.08) and 200 m (19.98). There was a blast at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. The CAS prevented the Swiss from starting in Japan with a provisional ban. (SDA/sbe)
