Facts
The French University Sport Federation (Fédération Française du Sport Universitaire, FFSU) charges respondent M38 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During an Athletics event on December 9, 2007, a sample was taken for doping test purposes. The analysis of the sample showed the presence of prednisolone and prednisone which are prohibited substances according the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
History
The respondent had mentioned the use of a pharmaceutical product, containing the prohibited substance, ten days before the match. He had used this medication to treat headaches and problems with the throat. However the dosage for use shown on the prescription doesn't match the amount measured in the analysis.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of six months in which respondent can't take part in competition or manifestations organized or authorized by the FFSU.
2. The decision will start on the date of the notification.
3. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
