ASADA opted to comment on the case following claims made by Peris that the anti-doping process had been "flawed".

"I did not take any performance-enhancing substance," Peris told The Australian.

"I now believe that there are substantial flaws in the way in which my urine tests were conducted in respect of my urine sample to ASADA on October 18.

"I am looking forward to fighting any doping allegation brought against me by ASADA and ensuring my reputation as a clean athlete continues."

ASADA have sought to make clarifications to Peris' comments, stating that the sprinter was subject to an out-of-competition test in October 2017 where they collected both blood and urine samples.

The A urine sample tested positive for three prohibited metabolites listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list.

ASADA said that due to the nature of the metabolites detected, additional scientific analysis was required.

This analysis needed to take place before the positive test could be confirmed and Peris was notified.

They added that no prohibited substances were detected in the blood samples, but state that blood and urine screens are used to detect different substances.

ASADA stressed that substances clear from urine and blood at different rates.

A provisional suspension was placed upon Peris after she was notified of her positive test.

ASADA chief executive David Sharpe has claimed the organisation are confident in their testing process following Peris'comments, while he also thanked Athletics Australia for their cooperation.

"Our testing programme is rigorous and professional, and is designed to detect doping, with the ultimate aim of protecting the right of clean athletes to fair competition," he said.

"Athletics Australia have shown strong commitment to clean sport, and have provided the necessary support and assistance."

Peris had been in contention for a place on the Australian athletics team at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, having recorded personal bests in both the 100 and 200 metres in recent months.

This included clocking a B-standard qualifying time of 23.31sec in the 200m in December, before lowering her personal best to 23.13.

She also achieved a personal best 11.41 in the 100m on January 6, beating Riley Day in a race in Queensland.

In 2016, Peris' former partner, National Rugby League player Shaun Kenny-Dowall, was cleared of domestic violence charges allegedly involving her.

He had been facing 11 charges, but they were dismissed with Peris described as "an unreliable witness".

Peris is the daughter of Nova Peris, who was a member of the Australia hockey team that claimed gold at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics, becoming the first indigenous Australian to top a podium at the Games.

She then switched sports to athletics for the Kuala Lumpur 1998 Commonwealth Games, where she earned gold medals in the 200m and 4x100m relay.

Australia will be represented by a team of 111 members in athletics, with the full selection set to be made in the coming days.

Their home Commonwealth Games will take place from April 4 to 15.
