Quarter-miler Riker Hylton to know fate Monday
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Independent Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel will convene a decision hearing for Riker Hylton on Monday at the Courtleigh Hotel in Kingston.
Hylton, a 400m relay bronze medallist at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, and a semi-finalist in the individual 400m at that same championships, is accused of evading or refusing to submit his sample to the Jamaica Anti Doping Commission for tests some time last year.
The runner faces a maximum ban of four years if found guilty.
