The 21-year-old tested positive for trenbolone - a banned substance used for muscle growth - in March 2024.

He avoided a ban following an independent arbitrator's ruling and was cleared to compete at the 2024 Olympics, but is now banned with immediate effect.

Knighton, who finished fourth in the 200m in Paris last summer, was not selected in the USA team for the World Championships, which take place from 13-21 September in Tokyo, Japan.

He was intially cleared after submitting evidence claiming the adverse findings were due to meat contamination.
