Facts
The French Athletics Federation (Fédération Française d'Athlétisme, FFA) charges respondent M03 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During an athletics event on October 25 en 26, 2009, respondent was summoned for doping test purposes. However the respondent refused to attend.
History
The respondent didn't attend the doping control and was difficult to get in touch with. Also his explanations were doubtful and his actions are seen as a deliberate evasion of the doping control. On April 12, 2007, he had received a sanction by the disciplinary committee of the FFA: a period of ineligibility of six months, with three months reprieve.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of two years in which respondent can't take part in competition or manifestations organized by the French sport federations.
2. The period of ineligibility will be reduced by the period already served by the decision of the appeal committee of May 4, 2007.
3. The decision starts on the date of notification.
4. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
