ISADDP 2008 IMAC Disciplinary Decision 20081517
February 9, 2009
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed against a decision of the Irish Sport Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel of 9 February 2009 in the case of the Athlete IS-1517 (the Athlete).
The Athlete was previously sanctioned with a 3 month period of ineligibility for her refusal in an out-of-competition doping test.
Considering the circumstances in this case the ASADAP Panel concludes that there is a gap in the relevant Rules related to the refusal to provide a sample. However the Panel rules that a 2 year period of ineligibility is not unjust or disproportionate having regard to the importance of combating sport and having regard to the fact that the Athlete retired from competing in competitions.
Therefore the Appeal Panel decides on 29 July 2010 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete IS-1717.
