The First Instance Decision:
The French Federation for Kick Boxing, Muay Thai and Associated Disciplines (FFKMDA) decided on 7 May 2015 to impose a 6 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete M63 for two anti-doping rule violations.
Here the Athlete failed to produced sufficient urine for the sample collection and left the Doping Control Station without permission.
Further her sample tested positive for the prohibited substances 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone) and Stanozolol. Hereafter the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) appealed the FFKMDA First Instance Decision.
The Athlete:
M63 stated that she left the Doping Control Station because of fatigue and denied the intentional use of the substances. She asserted that she had used products purchased from a person at her bodybuilding center in order to lose weight without evidence in support of her assertion.
The AFLD:
the French Anti-Doping Agency contended that the Athlete committed two anti-doping rule violations and, failed to establish that the violation was not intentional nor the source of the positive test without grounds for a reduced santion.
The Decision:
The AFLD decides to reform the FFKMDA decision and to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete M63 starting on the date of the notification, i.e. on 15 March 2015.
