The First Instance Decision:
The French Federation of Weightlifting, Fitness, Powerlifting and Bodybuilding (FFHMFAC) decided on 14 April 2015 and on 26 May 2015 to impose a 1 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete M71 after his samples, collected in January 2015 and in March 2015, tested positive for the prohibited substance Methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine). Hereafter the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) appealed the FFHMFAC First Instance Decision.
The Athlete:
M71 denied the intentional use of the substance, asserted that the supplement Jack 3D Micro he used was the source of the positive tests.
The AFDL:
The French Anti-Doping Agency contended that the Athlete had a duty to reseach his supplements before using, that he failed to produce evidence in support of his assertion while it was noted that the substance was not mentioned on the label of the product.
The Decision:
The AFLD decides on 16 December 2015 to reform the two FFHMFAC decisions and to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete M71 starting on the date of the Notification.
