Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser must serve a six-month suspension after testing positive for oxycodone.
Jamaican handed six-month drugs suspension
Olympic and world 100 metres champion Shelly-Ann Fraser has been banned for six months by the International Association of Athletics Federations.
The Jamaican tested positive for oxycodone at the Diamond League meeting in Shanghai in May but claimed the result was because of medication she took for toothache.
After being provisionally suspended back in June, the IAAF have now confirmed she will not be allowed to return to action until January 7.
Oxycodone is banned as a narcotic but is not considered performance enhancing or to be a masking agent.
The 23-year-old was the eighth Jamaican athlete to test positive in the space of a year.
Fraser won the 100m title in Beijing in 2008 before claiming the world title as well as relay gold in Berlin the following year.
