On 30 December 2008 the Federatia Romana de Gimnastica informed FIG that Marian Dragulescu (the Athlete), and two other Romanian gymnasts, had ended their career as active athletes. However the Athlete competed again in October and November 2009. The FIG was not informed of his return to competition and availability for out-of-competition testing in 2009. There was no application for a FIG Licence and the Athlete did not submit any whereabouts in this period.
The FIG has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after he committed two Whereabouts Failures in 2010. The Athlete did not submit complete whereabouts for the first quarter within the given deadline, even though he had received two reminders. Also the Athlete did not submit complete information about his daily whereabouts for the quarters one to three of 2010.
After notification by FIG the Athlete was heard for the FIG Disciplinary Commission in July 2010.
The Athlete stated that after his come back to competition he did not know anything about the FIG Licences. The Athlete argued that the Romanian Gymnastics Federation had always done all the administrative tasks for the Athletes. He admitted he did not complete his whereabouts in 2010 and that he acted negligently because of personal problems in that period.
Proposed by the FIG Disciplinary Commission on 18 August 2010, the FIG Presidential Commission decides on 20 August 2010 to record the two Whereabouts Failures against the Athlete and to give her a strong warning for the incomplete whereabouts submissions he has made.
