In August 2007 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Andrei Valentin Popa after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance epimetendiole, metabolite of methandienone.
Therefore on 10 September 2007 the ANAD Sanction Committee decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the decision.
