Mr. Virgil Nicolae Iordache is the team physiokinetotherapist of the Romanian Asesoft Ploiesti University Sport Club. In May 2010 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against Mr. Iordache after he prescribed the product Ginko Fort, which contained the prohibited substance heptaminol, to the Athlete Cӑtӑlin Burlacu as medical treatment.
Due to the treatment, the Athlete’s sample hereafter tested positive for the prohibited substance heptaminol. Considering the Athlete’s lack of guilt the ANAD Hearing Commission decided to impose a 3 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete.
Mr. Iordache admitted the violation and took responsibility for the administration.
Considering Mr. Iodrach prescribed the product, although he knew that the product contained heptaminol, the ANAD Hearing Commission decides to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on Mr. Virgil Nicolae Iordache, starting on the date of the decision.
