Facts
The French Athletics Federation (Fédération Française d'athlétisme, FFA) charges respondent M49 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules.

Budesonide is a prohibited substance according the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.
History
Respondent claims the need for medication because of a medical condition. It appears from the medical record that the respondent would be subject to longstanding medical treatment; but documents submitted by the interested to the Council do not involve any element of nature that establish the reality of this disease.
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 authorize by the FFA.
2. The decision starts on the date of notification.
3. The decision will be published and sent to the parties involved.
