In October 2013 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Alexandru Draghici after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine).
At the hearing the Athlete stated he used a supplement Neurocore, recommended by a friend and purchased on the internet. The label of the product mentioned the ingredient Geranium Extract but not the substance methylhexaneamine. Also the Athlete argued that he practices recreational sport only.
The Commission considered that the Athlete had no intention to enhance sport performance and that the synonym Geranium for methylhexaneamine is not mentioned in the Prohibited List or on the WADA website.
Therefore the ANAD Hearing Commission decides to impose a 3 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the decision.
