Canadian Premier League player Amla suspended two years for anti-doping violation
OTTAWA — Halifax Wanderers striker Ludwig Amla has received a two-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation.
A urine sample collected Sept. 10, 2022 contained terbutaline, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) said Wednesday in a statement.
Terbutaline is used medically to prevent and treat wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness caused by asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
It is on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of prohibited substances.
