USADA has announced that the 23-year-old World Youth Championships gold medallist has been suspended for a month after testing positive for cannabis.

Davis-Woodhall failed the test at this year's USA Track and Field Indoor Championships in Albuquerque after winning the long jump with a leap of 6.99 metres.

Cannabis, marijuana, and hashish are specified substances in the class of cannabinoids and are prohibited in-competition by the World Anti-Doping Code.

In the 2021 Code, the substances are classified under a special category that allows for a reduced three-month sanction if the athlete establishes that their use of the substance occurred out-of-competition and was unrelated to sport performance.

The sanction may be further reduced to one month if the athlete satisfactorily completes a treatment programme approved by USADA.

Davis-Woodhall’s period of ineligibility was reduced to one month because her use of cannabis occurred out-of-competition and was unrelated to sport performance, and because she successfully completed a substance of abuse treatment programme regarding her use of cannabis.

Davis-Woodhall’s one-month period of ineligibility is the minimum allowed under the rules and began on March 21, the date of her provisional suspension.

In addition, Davis-Woodhall has been disqualified from all competitive results obtained on and subsequent to February 17, the date her positive sample was collected, including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes.

Her jump in Albuquerque had been the third best performance in the world this year but has now been struck from the record books.

It means the runner-up, Rhesa Foster, who had finished 36 centimetres behind Davis-Woodhall, will be promoted to the gold medal.

Davis-Woodhall was an outstanding junior athlete.

Her achievements included winning the gold medal at the 2015 World Youth Championships in Cali and a bronze in the 2018 World Junior Championships in Tampere.

Davis-Woodhall also won three medals at the 2017 Pan American Junior Championships in Trujillo, including gold in the long jump and 4x100 metres relay.

As well as being a top long jumper, Davis-Woodhall is also an outstanding sprint hurdler.

As a University of Georgia student athlete, she broke the world under-20 record in the 60m hurdles with a time of 7.98sec, during the 2018 National Collegiate Athletic Association Indoor Track and Field Championships in College Station.

Davis-Woodhall qualified for Tokyo 2020 by finishing second at the US Olympic Trials.

Her best performance of 7.14m, set in Austin in 2021, ranks her as the 28th best of all-time.

Davis-Woodhall is the latest in a string of high-profile US athletes to be suspended. 

Earlier this month, high jumper and Rio 2016 Olympian Inika McPherson was handed a 16-month suspension after she tested positive for prohibited substance furosemide - the second doping ban of her career.

Last month, USADA suspended Tokyo 2020 shot put silver medallist Raven Saunders for 18-months after she missed three out-of-competition drugs tests in a year.

In December, Rio 2016 4x400m gold medallist Gil Roberts was banned for 16-months after testing positive for andarine and ostarine.

The previous month, Garrett Scantling, the world's top-ranked decathlete in 2022 and who had finished fourth at Tokyo 2020, had accepted a three-year suspension from USADA for whereabouts and tampering anti-doping rule violations.

The same month, former US 10,000m champion and Rio 2016 Olympian Hassan Mead was banned for three years after failing a drugs test.
