Facts
The French Federation for Judo, Jujitsu, Kendo and Associated Disciplines (Fédération Française de Judo, Jujitsu, Kendo et Disciplines Associées FFJDA) charges respondent M58 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During a judo tournament on June 3, 2007, a sample was taken for doping test purposes. Analysis of the sample showed the presence of furosemide which is a prohibited substance according the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
History
The respondent had used a pharmaceutical product containing furosemide to treat a swollen ankle. He didn't mention the use of this product on the doping control form, although he as a prescription from a general practitioner. However the medical prescription (used for arterial hypertension and renal cedemes of cardiac or liver) doesn't match the treatment for a swollen ankle.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of one year in which the respondent can't take part in competition or manifestations organized or authorized by the FFJDA.
2. The decision starts on the date of notification.
2. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
