The 25-year-old tested positive during a urine sample provided in-competition on July 19 2022.

The substance is included on the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) 2022 Prohibited List under cannabinoids.

Beve accepted the punishment and established that the ingestion of the banned substance happened out-of-competition and was unrelated to sport performance.

"As a result of her violation, Beve was made ineligible for competition for three months from 24 October 2022 to 23 January 2023," read an IPC statement.

"The results obtained by the athlete from the date the sample was collected, including all of the athlete’s individual results obtained in the event, will also be disqualified, with all resulting consequences, including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes.

"The results obtained by the athlete's team in the R5 - mixed 10m air rifle prone SH2 team competition are also automatically disqualified, with all resulting consequences, including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes."

The IPC reiterated that athletes were liable for substances found in their samples whether taken intentionally or not.

Cannabis' place on the WADA List of Prohibited Substances and Methods, under substances of abuse, is a contentious issue and as more countries legalise and decriminalise marijuana there have been calls for it to be removed.

These grew after a cannabis positive ruled American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson out of last year's delayed Olympic Games.

However, the WADA Executive Committee in September last year approved it to remain in place, following a List Expert Advisory Group recommendation.
