Olympian Peter Bol remains in the running to be named Young Australian of the Year tomorrow despite failing a drug test.
Bol tested positive for the banned substance EPO in a test done outside of a race last October.
The National Australia Day Council says while it is “aware of a potential anti-doping violation,” Bol has not been stripped of his nomination and remains in contention.
He is nominated for mentoring, coaching, philanthropic work, and athletic achievements.
