Komisja do Zwalczania Dopingu w Sporcie (KdZDwS), the Polish Commission Against Doping in Sport, has reported in May 2012 an anti-doping rule violation against the Player after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine).
After deliberations between the KdZDwS and the Serbian Basketball Federation the case was transferred to the FIBA in July 2012.
After notification the Player filed a statement in her defence for the FIBA Disciplinary Committee.
The Player stated she had used a supplement, recommended by a salesperson, in order to lose weight. The Player checked and compared the component of the supplement with the WADA List op Prohibited Substances and had no intention to enhance performance.
The Panel finds Player acted negligently in her responsibility that no prohibited substance enters her body.
She used the supplement upon recommendation of a supplement store salesman and failed to research the ingredients of the supplement before using it. Therefore the FIBA Disciplinary Panel decides to impose a 6 month period of ineligibility on the player starting on the day of Player’s last official game, i.e. on 29 April 2012.
