TAS 2013/A/3316 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) v. Chimdesteren Bataa & International Powerlifting Federation (IPF)
CAS 2013/A/3316 WADA vs Chimdesteren Bataa & IPF
On 29 July 2013 the Doping Hearing Panel of the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF DHP) decided to impose a 2 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete after he tested positive for the prohibited substance Methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine) related to his use of the supplement Jack 3d while he was unaware that it contained a prohibited supplement.
Hereafter in September 2013 the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed the IPF Decision with the Court of Arbitration for Sport. WADA requested the Panel to set aside the Appealed Decision and to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete.
The Panel concludes that the Athlete had committed an anti-doping rule violation and that it is undisputed that the supplement Jack 3d was the source of the prohibited substance.
Following assessment of the evidence and case law the Panel deems that there are no grounds that the Athlete had acted intentionally. In view his conduct the Panel finds that he acted with some degree of negligence regarding the supplement in question.
Therefore the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decides on 13 May 2014 to set aside the Appealed Decision of 29 July 2013 and to impose a 15 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete.d.
