The Féderation Internationale de Natation (FINA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Swimmer after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Stanozolol.
FINA notified the Swimmer in June 2010 and ordered a provisional suspension. The Swimmer filed a statement in his defence for the FINA Doping Panel. The Swimmer stated he had used dietary pills, obtained by his trainer, and expressed his regrets for his negligence.
The Panel finds the Swimmer demonstrated a regrettable lack of responsibility and care that no prohibited substance enters his body because he did not research the ingredients of the pills before using it.
The FINA Doping Panel decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Swimmer starting on the date of the provisional suspension.
