Fall served a nine-month ban from April 2024 to January 2025 for an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for heptaminol in July 2023.[2][6] In September 2024, Fall was issued with an 18-month ban set to expire in July 2026 for a second anti-doping rule violation for whereabouts failures (missed tests or filing omissions).[3] The two sanctions also resulted in the Fall's disqualification of dozens of races from June 2022 to April 2024.
