June 18, 2012
In August 2010 the International Automobile Federation (FIA) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the minor driver Igor Walilko after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Nikethamide. Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete was heard for the FIA Anti-Doping Committee.
The Committee finds that the presence of a prohibited substance has been established in the Athlete's samples and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation. The Committee deems that the Athlete failed to demonstrate how the substance had entered his system.
Consequently on 11 October 2010 the FIA Anti-Doping Committee decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Driver, starting on 18 July 2010.
