August 15, 2004
Mr David Munyasia is a Kenyan Athlete competing in the boxing event at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
On 8 August 2004 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance cathine.
The Athlete denied taking any medical substance, other than an antibiotic and offered no explanation on how the prohibited substance came into his body.
The IOC Disciplinary Commission unanimously concludes that the Athlete had committed an anti-doping rule violation. Therefore on 10 August 2004 the IOC Executive Board decides, as recommended by the IOC Disciplinary Commission, that the Athlete David Munyasia:
1.) is excluded from the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad in Athens in 2004; and
2.) shall have his Olympic identity and accreditation card be immediately withdrawn.
3.) The International Boxing Association (AIBA) is requested to consider any further action within its own competence.
4.) This decision shall enter into force immediately.
