Sprinting career
Clarke reached the quarter-final at the 2001 World Championships, but got disqualified due to a failed drugs test.
It was later revealed that at a World Championships pre-camp, Clarke had tested positive for stanozolol.[3] In an interview, she cried and repeatedly denied that she used any stanozolol. Clarke's coach, Clive Foster, also denied that Clarke used any stanozolol. Clarke was the first athlete to fail a drugs test at the 2001 World Championships. This caused Clake to get expelled from the world championships. Later, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport allowed her to compete again.
