July 26, 2011
In May 2010 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Corina Dumbrӑvean after she attempted to tamper her sample and refused to provide a sample for drug testing.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and was heard for the ANAD Hearing commission.
The Athlete claimed that she was not on the location as mentioned in het whereabouts information and that she did not receive the invitation for testing. Several witnesses stated that the Athlete was not in Villa Olympic when the sample collection was conducted on 18 May 2005. The witnesses failed to identify the person presumed to undergo the doping test and the Doping Control Officers (DCO) stated they recognized the Athlete Corina Dumbrӑvean as the person who signed the invitation to provide a sample.
The Athlete sustained her claim that she was not the person who was tested by the two DCO’s on 18 May 2005. A criminologist expert testified that the person who signed the Invitation to provide a sample was not written by the Athlete Corina Dumbrӑvean.
However the National Crimonology Institute of the Romanian Ministry of Justice investigated several documents with the Athlete's signature and concluded in July 2010 that the Athlete’s signature on the invitation to provide a sample on 18 May 2010 belonged to the Athlete Corina Dumbrӑvean.
The ANAD Hearing Commission considered in this case the statements and evidence and the fact that the Athlete committed a second anti-doping rule violation. In addition the IAAF has reported in March 2010 that the Athlete tested positive for the prohibited substance erythropoetin (EPO).
Therefore the ANAD Hearing Commission decided to impose a lifetime period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 3 June 2010 (case 18/08.07.2010)
Hereafter both the Athlete Corina Dumbrӑvean and the Olimpic Sport Club in in Craiova appealed the decision of the ANAD Hearing Commission (case 18/08.07.2010) with the ANAD Appeal Commission (appeal cases 6/10.08.2010 and 7/10.08.2010), which decides on 10 August 2010 that these appeals were inadmissible.
