Facts
The French Federation of Weightlifting, Fitness, Powerlifting and Bodybuilding (Fédération Française d'Halterophilie, Musculation, Force Athlétique et Culturisme, FFHMFAC) charges respondent M17 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. During a contest on November 27, 2004, respondent didn't attend the doping control.
History
The respondent was summoned to attend the doping control but he refused. He has failed to submit written comments on the board and appear before it; the explanations provided in a letter to the president of the federation are not such as to mitigate the seriousness of the facts.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of 18 months in which respondent can't take part in competition or manifestations organized or authorized by the FFHMFAC.
2. The decision starts after March 21, 2005.
3. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
