Motorsport Australia can confirm a sanction notice has been issued to Joey Mawson for a breach of the Australian National Anti-Doping Policy 2021.
 
Mawson has been issued a three-year suspension dating back to 13 May 2023, following a positive test result at a Motorsport Australia event in which he was competing. 

Both Mawson’s A and B samples provided to Sport Integrity Australia were found to have contained the prohibited substance under the policy, meldonium.
 
This penalty will see Mawson’s licence suspended until 13 May 2026.
 
Mawson’s suspension has also now been listed on the Sport Integrity Australia website.
 
Motorsport Australia remains in regular contact with Mawson and will continue to provide its support throughout the suspension period.
