GENEVA — A third runner on the Refugee Olympic Team has been suspended for a positive doping test. The doping case of Anjelina Nadai Lohalith was announced two days before the IOC confirms its selection of refugee athletes for the Paris Olympics that open in July. Track and field's Athletics Integrity Unit says Lohalith was notified of her alleged use of the banned heart medication trimetazidine and provisionally banned. It gave no timetable for a disciplinary case. Lohalith fled war in South Sudan as a child to a refugee camp in Kenya. She has been preparing for her third straight Summer Games.
