Shayna Jack (born 6 November 1998) is an Australian swimmer.[1] She competed at the 2017 World Aquatics Championships, where she won two silver and two bronze medals in the relay events.[2][3][4] In June 2019, Jack tested positive for a banned substance during a routine doping test and was subsequently suspended by Swimming Australia.[5]

Positive doping test[]

Jack pulled out of the 2019 World Aquatics Championships days before it started, citing "personal reasons". It was later revealed that Jack had tested positive for the anabolic agent Ligandrol, which is popular with bodybuilders, during an out-of-competition test held by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA); a follow-up sample further confirmed the banned substance in her system, and she was subsequently suspended by Swimming Australia and investigated by ASADA.[6][7] She posted on Instagram saying that she "would never intentionally take a banned substance that would disrespect my sport and jeopardise my career".[8][9] The investigation by ASADA is ongoing.[6][10]

Television[]

In 2020, it was announced Jack would be participating the Seven Network's reality program SAS Australia.[11]
