Invictus X finished first overall at the Mid-Atlantic CrossFit Challenge, but the invitation to the CrossFit Games was withheld and no Games team roster was submitted, pending the completion of the appeals process for this case.
Team members in compliance with the Drug Policy are eligible to compete in future competitions.
Loehner’s appeals process is now complete and she is suspended for four years. She will not be eligible until the 14th of April 2023.
Loehner’s placement in the top 20 in the Open has been invalidated. The qualifying spot will pass to the next eligible athlete!
