Two months ago, he posted a photo on social media of himself receiving an intravenous infusion. That caught the attention of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which launched an investigation. Now, the six-time gold medalist has been suspended for 14 months. That clock started on May 24, the day he took the IV. "This is devastating for my family and me, and I was finally back in top shape," Lochte said at a news conference. This means he will miss the upcoming national championships starting on July 25, as well as major international swimming events. It's worth noting that the USADA did not find that he was injecting himself with any banned substances – the problem was the amount of fluid that he received. The USADA does not allow athletes to receive intravenous infusions of more than 100 ml in a 12-hour period, unless they have a special exemption.
