In December 2019, the team from Trinidad and Tobago was deprived of the gold medal and Phillip the silver medal of the Pan American Games 2019, because Philipp had tested positive for doping . Because of this decision, the chances fell for the team, the Olympic Games in Tokyo to qualify. Thereupon Browne and Phillip denied no further competitions, and the Canadian national coach Erin Hartwell left the association and moved to China .
