Doping ban
In October 2013, Camarena-Williams was hit with a six-month suspension from the US Anti-Doping Agency after testing positive for clomiphene. The substance was discovered in an out-of-competition test conducted on July 1. The punishment was implemented retrospectively, meaning she was cleared to compete again on January 1, 2014.
