Harris tested positive on Jan. 24 for trace amounts of the prohibited substance Ligandrol in an out-of-competition doping control test. She received the results on Feb. 15, the eve of her team's opening game at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. "As best as can be determined at this time, Ms. Harris was unknowingly exposed to the banned substance through bodily contact," Fowler said."In the circumstances, Ms. Harris is therefore keen to clear her name and will seek to expedite any process or mechanism to facilitate such vindication."Harris' teammates Einarson, Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard and coach Reid Carruthers have declined public comment on the case.
Curling Canada chief executive officer Nolan Thiessen has said the sport's national governing body will abide by any legal ruling on the issue. A case involving Canadian canoeist Laurence Vincent Lapointe could give Harris some cause for optimism. Vincent Lapointe declined an interview request last spring but said she had previously reached out to Harris.The 2024-25 curling season, which started in earnest this month, is a critical one in the quadrennial.
