In January 2016 the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Mexican Athlete after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Oxilofrine (methylsynephrine) and Phenethylamine. After notification the Athlete filed a statement in her defence and she was heard for the FIVB Disciplinary Panel.
The Athlete expressed her apologises for the non intentional violation and asserted that it was caused by the supplements she used to lose weight. The Athlete admitted that she completely relied on the recommendations of her nutritionist and before using she did not research the ingredients of the supplements nor did she conduct any research for the product on the internet.
The Panel accepts that the violation was not intentional and concludes that the Athlete was significantly negligent. Therefore the FIVB Disciplinary decides on 23 February 2016 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of her last competition.
