This development comes as Brownlee, with assistance from his US-based lawyers, navigates the implications of the finding, which has yet to be officially ruled on by FIBA. The term 'adverse analytical finding' relates to sports doping regulations and indicates the presence of prohibited substances or methods. Brownlee has previously faced a doping issue after testing positive for Carboxy-THC following the 2023 Asian Games, which led to a three-month suspension.
