The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after her pre-competition sample tested positive for the prohibited substance EPO.
The IOC notified the NOC of Spain which reported that the Athlete had left the Olympic Village in Beijing and returned to Spain. Hereafter the Athlete filed a statement in her defence and alleged irregularities with the doping control, the sample collection, the notification and invitation for the hearing.
The Committee rejects the Athlete’s arguments and concludes that the Athlete had committed an anti-doping rule violation. On 11 August 2008 the IOC Disciplinary Commission decides that the Athlete:
1.) is excluded from the Games of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games;
2.) shall have her Olympic identity and accreditation card immediately cancelled and withdrawn.
3.) The Athlete’s file shall be transmitted to the UCI, which is requested to consider any further action within its own competence.
4.) The NOC of Spain and BOCOG shall ensure full implementation of this decision.
5.) This decision shall enter into force immediately.
