On 14 October 2010 the FILA Sport Judge decided to give a reprimand to the Russian Athlete Anvar Gazimagomedov after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance atenolol.
Hereafter WADA appealed the FILA Sport Judge decision of 14 October 2010 with the FILA Appeal Commission.
The Athlete claimed that there were several departures from the sample collection procedure and that the prohibited substance came into his body during his visit at the dentist or with the medication he used for his headache.
The Appeal Commission concludes that the Athlete produced no evidence in support of his allegations about the sample collection and his statement about how the prohibited substance came into his body.
Therefore the FILA Appeal Commission decides to set aside the FILA Sport Judge decision of 14 October 2010 and to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 29 June 2010.
