World indoor champion Regina Jacobs is reported to be the latest athlete to have tested positive for the steroid THG.
The Washington Post newspaper has reported that Jacobs, the first woman to run under four minutes for the 1500m indoors, is one of the four previously unnamed American athletes to test positive for THG.
Should "B" tests confirm Jacobs' positive test, she faces a possible lifetime bans and a US$100,000 fine as a result of a new zero tolerance initiative introduced by the United States Track and Field.
The news follows the revelation that British 100m runner Dwain Chambers also tested positive for the previously undetectable drug.
Jacobs raised eyebrows when she broke the 13-year-old world indoor 1500m record at the age of 39 earlier this year.
Authorities in Germany, France and Greece have confirmed they will re-test samples taken at domestic and international events this year.
