Today, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced that Adaejah Hodge served a two-year doping ban beginning August 30, 2024, with seven months of the sanction suspended, making her eligible to return on January 28, 2026.

She was banned for the presence/use of GW501516 sulfone and GW501516 sulfoxide.

As a result, her World Junior Championship medals from 2024 have been disqualified (200m Gold and 100m Silver). Australia's Torrie Lewis is now credited with Gold in the 200m, with Jessica Milat joining the podium as Bronze. In the 100m, Great Britain's Nia Wedderburn-Goodison will now join the podium.

Notably, the AIU and all parties agreed that the athlete's ingestion was unintentional.

In 2025, Montverde Academy Track Coach, Gerald Phiri, was provisionally suspended after three athletes tested positive for GW501516.

At the time, the AIU also alleged that Phiri committed Anti-Doping Rules Violations for the possession of GW1516 when he was an athlete in 2018 and 2019, the possession of Meldonium as an "Athlete Support Person" in 2024 and failure to cooperate with said investigation.

This weekend, Hodge won the NCAA Indoor Title in 200m and was the runner-up in the 60m. Her 18-points helped Georgia win the 2026 NCAA Championship Team Title.
