In June 2021, she was banned for five years for "tampering with the anti-doping
testing process" which would effectively make her ineligible to participate in
both 2020 Summer Olympics and in the 2024 Summer Olympics.
On 2 July 2021, the ban was upheld by CAS.[20] Following the upholding of the ban,
Rollins(-McNeal) commented on social media that the presence of "white European men" on
the Panel may have led to a different consideration than if she was a "white woman,
or a European".
