ANAD Comitet Sancțiune 2006_09 ANAD vs Claudiu Stefan Grama
April 28, 2006
In 28 April 2006 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, imposed a 2 year period of ineligibility on the minor Athlete Claudiu Stefan Gram after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance 19-norandorsterone, metabolite of nandrolone.
Hereafter in May 2006 the Athlete appealed the decision of the ANAD Sanction Committee with the ANAD Appeal Commission. The Athlete argued that he used prescribed medication due to a diagnosed eye inflammation of the cornea. The prescribed eye-drops medication contained the prohibited substance nandrolone. Also the Athlete mentioned his medication on the Doping Control Form.
The ANAD Appeal Commission concludes that the detected concentration nandrolone was low and that the Athlete had no intention to enhance his sport performance. The Commission rules that his negligence is not significant in relation to anti-doping rule violation and decides on 27 june 2006 to reduce the imposed 2 year period of ineligibility to 1 year.
