Facts
The French Federation of Weightlifting, Fitness, Powerlifting and Bodybuilding (Fédération Française d'Halterophilie, Musculation, Force Athlétique et Culturisme, FFHMFAC) charges respondent M12 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During a contest on May 13, 2006, a sample was taken for doping test purposes. The samples showed the presence of althiazide, canrenone, bumetanide, clenbuterol and a metabolite of mesterolone. These substances are prohibited according the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
History
The respondent had mentioned the use of two pharmaceurtical products, one of these products contained a stimulant which was not detected during the doping control. He used it because of problems with his veins, for which he has medical certificates. However only the use of althiazide is consistent for a therapeutic justification.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of three years in which respondent can't take part in competition or manifestations organized or authorized by sport federations.
2. The decision starts on the date of notification.
3. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
