In November 2009 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Orsolya Bene after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance sibutramine.
The minor Athlete stated she used capsules to loose weight. When purchasing the capsules the Athlete was assured that this natural product could be used by elite athletes.
The Commission concludes that the Athlete had no intention to enhance sport performance and she mentioned the capsules on the Doping Control Form.
Therefore the ANAD Hearing Commission decides on 14 January 2010 to impose a 1 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the decision.
