Career
Nabe studied in the United States on a track scholarship at Florida State University, graduating in 2008 with a degree in information technology. He competed for the FSU track team, earning All-American honors in the 4×100 metres relay, and helping win the ACC title in 2005.[2]
He won the Swiss national title in the 100 metres in 2009 and qualified for the 2009 World Championships in Athletics in Berlin, where he ran 10.51 seconds in the heats.[1] In 2011, he recorded a season's best of 10.30 seconds — the fastest Swiss time that year — and reached the final of the 60 metres at the 2011 European Athletics Indoor Championships in Paris, finishing seventh in 6.67 seconds.[citation needed]
In June 2011, Nabe was provisionally suspended by Antidoping Switzerland for failing to provide required athlete whereabouts information.[3] He received a 12-month ban, later extended to 18 months following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[4] This prevented him from competing at the 2012 European Championships and the Olympic Games. Nabe announced his retirement in January 2013.[5]
