Facts
The French Federation of Weightlifting, Fitness, Powerlifting and Bodybuilding (Fédération Française d'Halterophilie, Musculation, Force Athlétique et Culturisme, FFHMFAC) charges respondent M63 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During a contest on April 28, 2007, samples were taken for doping test purposes. The sample showed the presence of nandrolone and a abnormally high testosterone on epitestosterone level. For the last a additional radiospectromatic analysis showed the presence of testosterone with exogenous origin. Nadrolone and exogenous testosterone are prohibited substances according the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
History
The respondent didn't provide any information about how the prohibited substances had entered his body. Also two earlier doping reports from doping control on March 8 en April 12, 2008, gave rise to the detection of prohibited substances. Which makes it an unique case to deal with two infractions at the same time.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of six years in which respondent can't take part in competition or manifestations organized or authorized by all French sport federations.
2. The decision by the disciplinary committee of the FFHMFAC on June 17, 2008, should be modified.
3. The period of ineligibility should be reduced by the period already served under the sanction already imposed by the decision of June 17, 2008.
4. The decision starts on the date of notification.
5. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
