In April 2018, the banned substance tamoxifen was found in the 39-year-old during a doping control and confirmed in the B-sample. Tamoxifen is used to prevent and treat breast cancer in women and can be abused to reduce the side effects of anabolic steroids . Grab, who denies voluntary doping, was retrospectively banned from April 5, 2019 for two years by the Swiss Olympic disciplinary body . Grab announced his resignation at the beginning of May 2018, before the doping offense became known.

Shortly after submitting the doping sample in April 2018, Grab won the Zug cantonal, two weeks later he won his 125th wreath at the Schwyz cantonal. The results of the two cantons were withdrawn for doping offenses.
