ANAD Comitet Sancțiune 2008_28 ANAD vs Cristina Andrei
November 17, 2008
In September 2008 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Cristina Andrei after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance 19-norandrosterone (nandrolone).
Therefore on 17 November 2008 the ANAD Sanction Committee decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of decision.
Hereafter in December 2008 the Athlete appealed the decision of the ANAD Sanction Committee of 17 November 2008 with the ANAD Appeal Commission.
The Appeal Commission concludes that the Athlete failed to mention on the Doping Control Form that she used Deca-Durabolin as medical treatment and she didn’t mention the use of contraceptive pills. Also the Athlete failed to prove her claim that she suffered from a series of ligaments disorders.
Therefore on 19 Janury 2009 the ANAD Appeal Commission decides to dismiss the Athlete’s appeal and to uphold the ANAD Sanction Committee Decision of 17 November 2008.
