Facts
The French Handball Federation (Fédération Française de Handball, FFHB) charges respondent M36 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During a match on November 19, 2005, a sample was taken for doping test purposes. The analysis of the sample showed the presence of a metabolite of cocaine which is a prohibited substance according the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
History
The respondent did not comment nor produced any new document in the open procedure before the Council. Given the seriousness of the facts, it is appropriate to extend the sanction imposed by the decision of the disciplinary committee of the FFHB, dated February 7, 2006.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of one year in which respondent can't take part in competition or manifestations organized by the FFHB, as pronounced by the disciplinary committee of the FFHB but extended to all French sport federations.
2. The decision starts on the date of notification.
3. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
