Australian Olympic 800m sprinter Peter Bol believes that his positive drug test was leaked 'at just a perfect time' so he wouldn't win Young Australian of the Year, and insists he was 'robbed' of the opportunity.

Bol, 29, was stood down by Athletics Australia for failing an out-of-competition drug test in January, and has vowed to clear his name.

While Bol's provisional suspension was lifted two weeks ago following an atypical finding in his B sample, the investigation by Sport Integrity Australia is still ongoing.

In an interview with 7NEWS' Spotlight, which will be broadcast on Sunday evening, he said we was devastated about one of the more immediate consequences of that positive test.

Bol - who finished fourth in the 800 metres at the Tokyo Olympics - was a strong contender for the Young Australian of the Year Award, but did not attend after the positive result.

'At just a perfect time, just a few days before Young Australian of the Year awards... I mean, let's get one thing straight, we were never guaranteed to win Young Australian of the Year but... strong contender,' Bol said.

'I mean... being named Young West Australian of the Year was just, it's quite inspiring being around so many great people. 

'And I think we were robbed of that. I mean, there was a lunch with the Prime Minister. We were robbed from being there, meeting the Prime Minister. 

'And when you sit in that room, I recall being in Western Australia, you sit in a room with such passionate people, and it just inspires you.'

Bol has pointed the finger towards Athletics Australia and Sports Integrity Australia when it comes to the identity of the alleged leaker. 

'Well, let's put it this way... it's a process of elimination.

'A leak happened some-where there,' said Bol.

'And I'm a hundred per cent certain my team did not leak anything.'

Bol's coach Justin Rinaldi believes CEO of Athletics Australia Peter Bromley should be stood down pending the outcome of an investigation into the leak.

Rinaldi doesn't believe the test result was leaked from his team.

'I don’t know what we would have to gain for leaking that information because he has lost a lot through this,' Rinaldi said.

'If we thought that was a good idea, we would be stupid. The information coming out was quite detailed. The people knew about the number of tests. I had a phone call on Saturday telling me the B result had come back as different from the A sample.'

On February 14, SIA issued a statement confirming that the investigation into Bol's case is still underway, and no timeline has been set for its completion. 

According to the statement, Bol's positive and atypical test results were for recombinant EPO, a synthetic substance that is not naturally produced by the human body.

Bol, is anxiously awaiting a date for his hearing with Sports Integrity Australia regarding the contradictory test results. His lawyer, Paul Greene, will travel from the United States to represent him.

Meanwhile, Bol will undergo kidney testing to determine whether his body naturally produces high levels of EPO. This follows a borderline positive finding, four negative results, and an atypical finding which led to the lifting of his five-week suspension.

There are also reports that Bol's siblings may undergo the same testing to investigate any possible genetic factors.

'I have absolutely nothing to hide,' Bol says in the interview.

'I'm not running to be the best in the world any more. I'm running to clear my name.'
