American triple jumper Omar Craddock was suspended Thursday in another case related to missing doping tests.
The Athletics Integrity Unit said the Pan American Games champion has been charged for whereabouts violations and is under provisional suspension awaiting a hearing.
Craddock was a two-time NCAA champion at Florida and won gold at the PanAm Games last year in Lima, Peru. His best result at the world championships came in 2015 when he finished fourth.
Athletes can ben banned for two years if they are unavailable for testing, or fail to update details where they can be found by sample collection officials, three times within 12 months.
World champion sprinter Christian Coleman was given a two-year whereabouts ban last month after escaping an earlier suspension on a technicality, and former 1,500-meter world champion Elijah Manangoi was banned for two years last week.
World 400-meter champion Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain was cleared last month in a whereabouts case. The AIU has appealed that verdict to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — England pace bowler Josh Tongue took three early wickets as Australia limped to lunch at 72-4 Friday on the first day of the fourth Ashes test.
Tongue claimed 3-24 from eight overs including removing Australia captain Steve Smith for nine at a sold-out Melbourne Cricket Ground.
England skipper Ben Stokes won the toss and sent Australia in to bat in overcast conditions. England lost each of the first three tests to allow Australia to retain the Ashes in just 11 days of on-field action.
Australia scored 27 runs in the first six overs before Travis Head (12) chopped a cut shot onto his stumps from the bowling of Gus Atkinson. Fellow opener Jake Weatherald (10) also fell cheaply, caught behind leg-glancing off Tongue at 31-2 in the 10th over.
Capitalizing on a pitch offering sideways movement, Tongue struck again in his next over when Marnus Labuschagne (6) edged to first slip. Australia was 34-3 at drinks, silencing the home crowd.
Smith showed a lack of footwork as he lost his middle stump while attempting to drive with the total on 55, as the triumphant Tongue struck a key blow to make sure England dominated the first session.
Usman Khawaja was 21 not out at lunch with Alex Carey on nine.
Australia recalled Jhye Richardson and Michael Neser as part of an all-pace attack for the match.
A top temperature of 18 degrees Celsius (65 Fahrenheit) was forecast with the cloudy conditions expected to suit pace bowlers on a green-tinged pitch.
England named its team on Wednesday with the big news the loss of star bowler Jofra Archer for the rest of the series, including the fifth and final test starting Jan. 4 in Sydney.
Jacob Bethell, 22, who has played four tests for England, replaces dumped Ollie Pope and Atkinson took the place of Archer.
