In March 2012 the International Skating Union (ISU) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Russian Athlete Kirill Golubev after he failed to be tested. Here the Athlete had already left the ice rink before ensuring that he had not been selected.
The Athlete was recalled from the hotel and returned to the rink where he provide a sample with a negative test result.
The ISU Disciplinary Commission finds that the Athlete made the mistake to leave the ice rink before checking whether he had been selected for anti-doping testing. His carelessness is regrettable but can’t be considered as a gross offence.
Therefore the ISU Disciplinary Commission decides on 31 May 2012 to impose a reprimand and a warning with disqualification of his results obtained at the Championships on 2-4 March 2012.
