CrossFit has announced the first doping sanction arising from the 2026 CrossFit Games. American athlete Wayne O'Hara tested positive for exogenous testosterone and its metabolites during a doping control carried out by CrossFit itself.

O'Hara finished second in the men's 65-69 age category. It was his second consecutive year on the podium in that division, but the result is now overshadowed by the positive test.

The penalty is a four-year suspension, which effectively ends O'Hara's competitive career in CrossFit. With this announcement, CrossFit makes clear that its anti-doping policy is enforced seriously in the masters categories as well.
