Facts
The French Rugby Federation (Fédération Française de Rugby, FFR) charges respondent M29 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During a match on November 26, 2005, a sample was taken for doping test purposes. The sample tested positive on salbutamol which is a prohibited substance according to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
History
The respondent hadn't mentioned the use of medication on the doping control form. The respondent claims to have bronchospasmes for which he uses medications. He has a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) from the International Rugby Board (IRB). However the panel concludes that the quantity measured is higher then allowed by the inhalation of salbutamol.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of three months in which respondent can't take part in competition or manifestations organized or authorized by the FFR.
2. The decision will start on the date of notification.
3. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
