INDIANAPOLIS — Two-time world champion hurdler Greg Foster has been suspended from competition for three months for testing positive for substances commonly found in over-the-counter cold medications.
The Athletics Congress said Thursday that Foster tested positive at the Sunkist Invitational indoor meet in Los Angeles on Jan. 19 for pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine, substances banned by the International Amateur Athletic Federation.
A three-member panel of TAC’s Drug Control Review Board will hear an appeal of the suspension.
Foster, 31, a former UCLA runner from Chino Hills, won the world outdoor titles in the 110-meter hurdles in 1983 and ’87.
