Shooting: Five-time Olympian suspended over doping test

Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Five-time Olympic shooter John McNally accepted a six-month suspension after testing positive for two banned substances, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said Tuesday.

The 52-year-old McNally tested positive in May for two diuretics, the USADA said.

His suspension began Oct. 18, the day he accepted the sanction. The suspension could be reduced to three months if he completes an anti-doping educational program.

McNally lives in Heath, Texas.
