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 M67 after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Stanozolol. Hereafter the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) appealed the FFKMDA First Instance Decision.
The Athlete:
M67 denied the intentional use and asserted that the substance was in the content of water bottle he ingested at the competition which was spiked by an opposing team he had a conflct with.
The AFLD:
The French Anti-Doping Agency contended that the Athlete failed to produce any evidence in support of his assertion. Also the Agency deemed that the concentration of Stanozolol found in the Athlete’s samples was not consistent with his ingestion of the content of a water bottle.
The Decision:
The AFLD decides on 2 December 2015 to reform the FFKMDA decision of 7 May 2015 and to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete M67.
