On 12 October 2010 the FILA Sport Judge decided to impose a 12 month period of ineligibility on the Serbian Athlete Kristijan Fris after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance furosemide.
Hereafter WADA appealed the FILA Sport Judge decision of 12 October 2010 with the FILA Appeal Commission.
The Appeal Commission rejects the Athlete's statement and concludes that the he acted negligently without research of the ingredients before using the medication. In addition the Commission notes that there is evidence that the Athlete wanted to keep his weight and might have used the substance to mask the use of an anabolic agent.
Therefore the FILA Appeal Commission decides to set aside the FILA Sport Judge decision of 12 October 2010 and to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. 29 May 2010.
