Hawaii wrestler Stephany Lee forfeits U.S. title after positive marijuana test

Advertiser Staff and Wire Reports

Hawai‘i wrestler Stephany Lee forfeited her national championship after testing positive for marijuana at the April meet in Las Vegas, the Bloomberg News reported.

Lee, 24, a Moanalua alum and World University champion who wrestles at 72 kilograms (158.5 pounds), won the women’s freestyle wrestling title in Las Vegas.
Lee beat Jenna Pavlik in the final by scores of 3-0, 4-0. She has also beaten 2008 Olympic gold medalist Wang Jiao of China in the World Cup.
According to the report, Lee tested positive for carboxy THC, a marijuana metabolite, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said in a news release.
Lee’s three-month suspension was reduced to time served after she completed a USADA anti-doping educational program on May 9.
She also lost her No. 1 seed for the May 30-31 World Team Trials in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Rather than being an automatic finalist by virtue of winning the nationals, she’ll have to qualify, the report said.
