1. On 20 January 2022, Lilian Kasait Rengeruk1 (“the Athlete”) provided a Sample Out-of-Competition during a Doping Control conducted on behalf of the Athletics Integrity Unit (“AIU”) of World Athletics, which resulted in an Adverse Analytical Finding for Letrozole2 (“the AAF”) which is a Specified substance, prohibited at all times3.

3. On 23 February 2022, the Athlete responded to the notice from the AIU with an explanation for the AAF and supporting evidence and requested to enter into a Case Resolution Agreement
to resolve the matter pursuant to Rule 10.8.2 ADR.
