On 17 September 2010 the FILA Sport Judge imposed a 12 month period of ineligibility on the Serbian Athlete Radomir Petkovic after is sample tested positive for the prohibited substance methandienone.
Hereafter WADA appealed the FILA decision of 17 September 2010 with the FILA Appeal Commission.
The Athlete stated that he suffered from a headache and his mother was at fault due she gave him his father’s medication instead of a supplement to treat his headache which she kept together at one place.
The Appeal Commission concludes that the Athlete acted negligently and rejects his statement.
Therefore the FILA Appeal Commission decides to set aside the decision of the FILA Sport Judge and to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. 29 May 2010.
