In October 2023, the Athletics Integrity Unit provisionally suspended Wondemagegn due to the presence of EPO in a sample taken from the athlete. In November 2023 a further prohibited substance was found, testosterone, leading to a further concurrent suspension.[4] On April 19, 2024, the AIU officially issued a ban of five years beginning October 20, 2023 and stripped all of her results since August 22, 2023.[5]
