Facts
The French Cycle Tourism Federation (Fédération Française de Cyclotourismo, FFCT) charges respondent M53 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During an event on September 8, 2007, respondent was asked to attend a doping test but he didn't went to the doping control.
History
The respondent claims not to to have been informed about being selected for a doping control. He had left the podium to recover a part of his gear. Considering his age there is no reason for him to use doping.
However the panel doesn't take his age and good faith as good reason for not performing a doping test. The evasion could have been a deliberate act.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of two months in which respondent can't take part in competition or manifestations organized or authorized by French sport federations.
2. The decision starts on the date of notification.
3. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
