Facts
The French Mountaineering and Climbing Federation (Fédération Française de la Montagne et de l'Escalade, FFME) charges respondent M26 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During a doping control at the French climbing championship October 12, 2008, a sample was taken from the respondent. The sample tested positive on benzoylecgonine a metabolite of cocaine. Cocaine is a prohibited substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
History
The WADA appealed before the council of state against the decision, dated June 25, 2009 (no. 2009-16) of the Agence Française de Lutte Contre le Dopage (AFLD). The council of state in her decision, dated December 1, 2010 (no. 334.372) cancelled the decision of the AFLD and requested a new hearing. In the original case the respondent was acquitted because in the doping report she was regarded as a male while she was a female.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of one year in which respondent can't take part in competition or manifestation organized or authorized by the FFME.
2. The decision starts on the date of notification.
3. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
