Ryan Locthe banned for 14 months for doping violation following Instagram post

The ban was confirmed through a statement by the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) which read:

“On May 24, Lochte posted an image on social media depicting himself receiving an intravenous infusion.

“A subsequent investigation by USADA, with which Lochte fully co-operated, revealed that Lochte received an intravenous infusion of permitted substances at an infusion clinic in a volume greater than 100ml in a 12-hour period without a therapeutic use exemption.”
