Roan Low disqualified after doping test at Masters CrossFit Games 2026

Roan Low has received a four-year suspension after failing a competition-related doping test at the Masters CrossFit Games 2026. The athlete dominated the men's 55-59 age category and appeared to be heading home with an impressive victory.

Low finished more than 100 points ahead of runner-up Eric Smith, underlining his dominance in the division. After the competition, however, the doping test revealed that he had used a prohibited substance.

As a result of the positive test, Low is disqualified and loses his title. The results of the 55-59 division will be revised accordingly, meaning Smith and other competitors move up in the rankings.

The incident underlines that CrossFit takes doping controls seriously, including in the masters categories. For the Dutch CrossFit community, it serves as a clear reminder that fair play and integrity are upheld across all age groups.
