FINA 2010 FINA vs Lukasz Giminski

The Féderation Internationale de Natation (FINA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Swimmer for three whereabouts filing failures. The Swimmer has not or has not timely sent his whereabouts information to FINA for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2010. The Swimmer was notified by FINA and heard for the FINA Doping Panel in September 2010.
The Swimmer stated in that period he had left Warsaw to take care of his seriously ill mother in Krakow. His physical and psychological condition did not allow him to send his whereabouts information to FINA and he did not have access to internet in that time.
The FINA Doping Panel finds Swimmer’s statement not convincing and decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Swimmer starting on 5 November 2010.
