The 25-year-old won silver in the 100-meter hurdles at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She also won European Championship gold in the event that same year and won the 60-meter hurdles at the 2022 World Indoor Championships.

If Samba-Mayela is suspended, she risks missing the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

According to the sport's anti-doping rules, elite athletes must report their whereabouts daily for any unannounced doping tests. If they miss three times in a one-year period, they risk being found guilty of doping.
