Penny Oleksiak, the most decorated Canadian Olympian in history, has accepted a two-year period of ineligibility for whereabouts failures, the International Testing Agency (ITA) announced Tuesday.
Oleksiak, 25, withdrew from the 2025 World Championships in early July due to an ongoing whereabouts case, and then a few weeks later, the ITA confirmed Oleksiak was serving a voluntary provisional suspension for missing three Whereabouts filings in a 12-month period.
