CAS 2008/A/1565 WADA vs Frederico Turrini & CISM
August 4, 2008
The Athlete Federico Turrini participated in the 2007 Military World Games held in Hyderabad, India, which took place between 14 and 21 October 2007.
The Athlete was subject to an in-competition test on 19 October 2007 after his victory in the swimming race of 400 meter individual medley. He tested positive to 19-norandrosterone at a concentration higher than the threshold limit of 2 ng/ml and he did not request the analysis of the B-sample.
In a decision dated 15 January 2008, CISM Discipline Commission refrained to pronounce any sanction against the Athlete except for the cancellation of the results he obtained in the 2007 Military World Games.
Hereafter the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed the CISM decision with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). On 4 August 2008 CAS ruled that the WADA appeal was upheld and decided to impose a 2 year ban, starting on the date of the notification, i.e. on 3 December 2007.
The Athlete appealed the CAS decision with the Swiss Federal Court, but this Court decides on 8 July 2009 to dismiss his appeal.
