	Three weeks after the Chicago tournament, Ali participated in a 'USA vs. China and Kazakhstan' exhibition event held in Zunyi, China. Ali's doping test at the exhibition returned positive for Cathine, a stimulant commonly found in prescription cold medicines. The Olympic Committee bars cathine in concentrations of over 5 micrograms per milliliter in urine.[http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/news/story?id=3199873] The infraction carried a potential two-year suspension from amateur competition, which would have disqualified him from the 2008 Olympics.

	While Ali accepted a voluntary indefinite suspension on November 22, 2007, he maintained his innocence and appealed to the International Boxing Association ('AIBA"') to overturn the test results, claiming that he had taken the cathine inadvertently after contracting a cold in China.[http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/high_school/2008/01/16/2008-01-16_canarsies_sadam_ali_fights_test_result.html?ref=rss] In February 2008, Ali agreed to drop his challenges in exchange for a three-month ban retroactive to the date on which he had originally accepted his voluntary suspension.[http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more_sports/2008/02/09/2008-02-09_canarsies_sadam_ali_can_qualify-2.html] His ban will therefore expire on February 22, 2008, allowing him to participate in the two remaining Olympic qualification tournaments to be held later in the spring.

	Ali earned his Olympic Games qualification spot in the AIBA First Americas Olympic Qualifying Tournament held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, in March 2008. He beat a Venezuelan 11-6, and then stopped an Argentinean to make the Olympic Team. (According to the May 20, 2011 ESPN ''Friday Night Fights'' program, Ali was the first Arab-American to represent the United States in an Olympics.) Ali turned professional after the 2008 Olympics. "My plan is as soon as I get done with the Olympics, I'll turn pro, and my father will move me the right way," Ali said. "Because I already know he knows what to do and all that. So, I'm going to leave that all on him."
