Olympic short-track speedskater Chris Creveling has tested positive for a banned substance and has received a four-year ban, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced Monday.

Creveling, 30, tested positive for clomiphene as a result of an out-of-competition urine test on Oct. 18, 2016. Clomiphene is commonly used to treat female infertility. In men, the drug can alter testosterone levels. Its use is prohibited as a specified substance in the class of hormone and metabolic modulators, according to USADA.

Creveling was part of the U.S. relay team in the 5,000 meters that won an Olympic silver medal in Sochi in 2014. He was a member of the national team in 2016-17.

His suspension began Nov. 18, 2016, the day he accepted a provisional suspension.
