USADA imposes one-year sanction on Daton Fix for anti-doping rule violation

View fullsize

Oklahoma State University wrestler Daton Fix has received a one-year suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency for a failed drug test conducted on January 22, 2020.

Fix is a former undefeated four-time State Champion out of Charles Page High School in Sand Springs. He was a Big 12 Champion and NCAA Runner-Up as a redshirt freshman, then took an Olympic redshirt this past season to prepare for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which have since been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fix, 22, tested positive for ostarine as a result of an out-of-competition drug test conducted on January 22, 2020. Ostarine is a Non-Specified Substance in the class of Anabolic Agents and is prohibited at all times under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing, the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee National Anti-Doping Policies, and the United World Wrestling Anti-Doping Rules, all of which have adopted the World Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.

The panel found that Fix ingested ostarine by drinking from a water bottle, which contained a supplement mixture as well as ostarine that his father had prepared for himself but left in the family’s refrigerator. Fix explained he was unaware that his father had added ostarine to the supplement mixture.

According to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Tribunal documents, Fix’s father, Derek Fix, a former CPHS Varsity Assistant Coach, had been using ostarine (under the name MK-2866) daily for several weeks without his son’s knowledge. Daton Fix consumed the beverage the weekend before traveling to the United World Wrestling Matteo Pellicone Ranking Series in Rome, Italy.

Daton Fix submitted to a voluntary polygraph examination on February 22, 2020. The test determined that Fix was not being deceptive when he said he had not knowingly consumed anything containing ostarine. He also submitted the ten supplements he had been using to Korva Labs in Los Angeles, and ostarine contamination was not detected in any of them. He did not learn until after those test results were received that his father had been using the substance.

At the AAA arbitration, Dr. Matthew Fedoruk, USADA’s Chief Science Officer, opined that Fix’s explanation for how he ingested ostarine and the amount ingested is consistent with the very low level of ostarine in his sample. The USADA concluded that the ingestion was likely accidental and not intended to enhance his athletic performance, and that Fix’s degree of fault was low.

Under the Code, an athlete’s period of ineligibility for using a prohibited substance may be reduced if the athlete’s anti-doping rule violation was unintentional and the athlete lacks significant fault for the violation. The panel agreed that a three-year reduction to the otherwise applicable period of ineligibility was appropriate.

Fix’s one-year period of ineligibility began on February 10, 2020, the date his provisional suspension was imposed. In addition, Fix has been disqualified from all competitive results obtained on January 22, 2020 through the date of provisional suspension, February 10, 2020, including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes.

Because the suspension will end in February, Fix will still be eligible to compete in the 2020 Summer Olympics next July in Tokyo.

CPHS Cross Country: Sandites open season at Owasso and Sapulpa meets

View fullsize

The fall cross country season is officially underway for Charles Page High School, and the Sandites have competed at two events thus far. The Sandites opened the year at the Owasso Ram Charge Relays, and competed at the Sapulpa Chieftain Meet on Saturday.

The Lady Sandite Varsity struggled in their first race of the year, running the six-mile relay in 54:57.54 for 31st out of 34 teams at Mohawk Park. They didn’t place at the Sapulpa meet because they only had three runners available.

The varsity boys placed 11th out of 42 teams at the Ram Relays with a time of 36:45.61 and the JV team placed 38th in 47:03.94. The varsity team placed 14th out 17 teams at Sapulpa.

The elementary teams also got to compete at Sapulpa, and both performed well. The girls placed third out of eight teams in the one-mile run, and the boys placed third out of ten teams.

Chloe Grona won the elementary girls run by a 13-second margin in a field of 98 runners, finishing in 6:12.91. Josie Grona placed 11th in 7:07.14, and Sophie Grona placed 33rd in 7:57.61.

The elementary boys were led by Dax Wilcox in 13th place with a time of 6:47.16, followed closely by Landon Durborrow in 16th and Gavin Corbin in 18th.

Ty Davis was the top high school girl, placing 86th out of 139 runners with a two-mile time of 16:58.84. Noah Hanlon led the high school boys in 12:05.61 for 31st out of 143 runners.

Neither junior high team had a full lineup and they were unable to earn a team place. Brynlee Durborow placed sixth out of 136 girls with a one-mile time of 6:12.99. Rafael Huff placed 68th out of 157 boys with a time of 6:46.42.

The Sandites’ next outing will be the Broken Arrow Tigers Meet Saturday, September 12th at Oneta Ridge Middle School, where the varsity teams will run their first 5K of the year.

CPHS Football: Sandites lose 28-24 thriller to No. 3 Bishop Kelley, Pennington scores 3 touchdowns

View fullsize

The Class 6A-II No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School varsity football team (1-1) nearly pulled off a major upset of 5A No. 3 Bishop Kelley (2-0) Friday night at Memorial Stadium, but after leading for nearly the entire game, they gave up the go-ahead touchdown to Owen Heinecke on a three-yard wildcat run with 59.5 seconds left to play.

Heinecke, a 6’2, 200-pound senior, ran for 151 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries, and also hauled in three passes for 48 yards. Grayson Hall also had a hot night for the Comets with seven receptions for 170 yards and a score to go with his five carries and 81 yards on the ground.

The Comets picked up three first downs and 39 yards on their opening possession before Brooks Dudley made a fourth down stop. Ty Pennington hooked up with Jamon Sisco on a 70-yard pass to the one-yard line, but a pair of Comet tackles for loss and a penalty backed the Sandites up to the 9 and Jonathan Daniels kicked a 26-yard field goal for the lead.

Kelley’s next drive ended after three plays when Gabe Harju’s intended receiver tipped the pass into the hands of Micah Calico for a 15-yard return. Pennington found Keaton Campbell on a fourth-down 29-yard score and Daniels made the PAT for the 10-0 advantage.

The Comets wouldn’t suffer a first quarter shutout, however, and Harju responded by airing out an 85-yard touchdown pass to Hall. The Sandites retaliated with a four-play drive and scored on a 54-yard pass from Pennington to Campbell.

Dudley had an interception early in the second quarter, and Bryson Chase had a strip and recovery, but the offense failed to capitalize on either turnover. Pennington found Jacob Blevins for 52 yards in the final seconds of the half, but only had time for one play. He connected with Campbell in the corner of the endzone, but the receiver failed to get a foot down before falling out of bounds, and the Sandites took a 17-7 lead into the locker room.

Bishop Kelley marched 69 yards in ten plays on their first drive of the second half and Heinecke scored on a four-yard run. The Sandites kicked off the fourth quarter with a four-yard run from Pennington to make it 24-14, but the Comets scored fourteen unanswered points to end the game.

Heinecke scored on a seven-yard wildcat run with 7:45 left to play, the Sandites punted their next possession, then he scored the go-ahead touchdown. Sand Springs earned two first downs on their final drive and made it to the Comet 22-yard line with a 45-yard pass from Pennington to Blevins. With no timeouts left, Pennington had to spike the ball to stop the clock. His next three passes fell incomplete and the Comet defense secured the comeback win.

Pennington finished the evening 10-32-315-0 passing with two touchdowns and was 11-36 rushing for another score. Campbell was the top receiver with six catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns. Harju finished the evening 11-20-218-2 with one score for the Comets.

The Sandite depth chart took another blow at running back after Tyyee Atkison went down in the third quarter. They lost Blake Jones to injury last week against Sapulpa, and Atkison had to be carried out on a stretcher.

Sandite Football will take next week off before hosting Shiloh Christian (1-0) from Springdale, Arkansas. Bishop Kelley will host 5A No. 2 Bishop McGuinness (1-0) in a rivalry game next Friday.

CPHS Volleyball: Sandites top Enid 3-2, Lenex scores 16 kills

The Class 6A No. 18 ranked Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (11-10) hosted No. 14 Enid (10-4) Thursday night at the Ed Dubie Field House and won a 3-2 non-conference upset. The Sandites have only taken three matches to a full five sets this season, and this is the first time they pulled off the win.

Enid’s Lauren Powell scored an ace on the opening rally, Jacelyn Smith retaliated with a kill, then Enid went on a four point run with an ace from Evencilla Malolo and kills from Catherine Cunningham and Hanna Brinley. Layla Lenex entered the game and scored three straight kills for the Sandites, then added a fourth to cut their deficit to 8-7 before Enid had another four-point run. A Sandite hot streak evened it out at 13-13 after kills from Kasidy Holland, Teyha Johnson, and Payton Robbins, and it tied three more times before the visitors went on a five point streak that the Sandites never recovered from. Enid closed a three-point run with an ace from Cunningham to win 25-18.

Sand Springs tied the match with a 25-19 win in game two. They opened 5-0 with a kill from Smith and a pair from Robbins. Jackie Camerena tied it at 11-11, but Holland, Smith, and Robbins scored three straight kills and never again gave up the lead. They closed on 6-1 run and Smith scored a kill for the game winner. Robbins and Holland scored four kills apiece in the set.

Game three was a lopsided Enid victory that saw the visitors lead by as much as 22-10 before the Sandites tried to rally. Robbins scored a kill and an ace in a five point run late in the set but the deficit was insurmountable and the Pacers won 25-17. The Sandites managed only seven offensive points in the game and got most of their points on Pacer mistakes. 

Layla Lenex scored two kills and a block in a five-point run for the 10-6 lead in game four. Robbins scored two kills in a five-point run at 20-13 and the Sandites won 25-19 after a Pacer service error. Lenex and Robbins had three kills apiece in the set and Johnson served two aces. 

Robbins scored a kill to start the tie-breaker round and Johnson followed it with an ace, but the Sandites committed a pair of errors to tie it up. Sophie Singleton and Lenex scored a pair of kills to regain the lead and the Pacers never again caught up.

Lenex led the Sandites with 16 kills and four blocks, followed by Robbins with 11 kills and three aces. Johnson recorded 35 assists and three aces, and Madison Blaylock had 20 digs. Cunningham scored a game-high 22 kills and two aces, and Kyleigh Whitehead added 14 kills and three aces for the Pacers.

Sandite Volleyball will take a week off before hosting Will Rogers (1-3) next Thursday at 6:00 p.m. Enid will travel to Lawton (2-9) Tuesday at 6:00 p.m.
