Charis Chan Suspended From Games
Charis Chan has been suspended from CrossFit competition. CrossFit, Inc. was "informed and believes that Charis Chan failed a drug test at the American Open Weightlifting Championships," and even though Chan's case is still being handled and hasn't been sanctioned by USA Weightlifting, CrossFit has suspended her from further competing in the current CrossFit Games season. 

Story developing.

Here's the official release:

"CrossFit, Inc. has been informed and believes that Charis Chan failed a drug test at the American Open Weightlifting Championships. While Chan is disputing the results and has not yet been officially sanctioned by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), CrossFit, Inc. is suspending her from further participation in the current CrossFit Games season pursuant to Rule 11 of the 2016 CrossFit Games Drug Testing Program. Her results will be removed from the Open leaderboard and invitations to the California Regional will be adjusted. CrossFit will issue a final ruling on her competition status for following seasons once her appeal has been decided."
