Facts
The French Athletics Federation (Fédération Française d'Athlétisme, FFA) charges respondent M67 for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules.
Respondent failed to provide his whereabouts data three times. As part of the registered testing pool the respondent is obliged to record his locations with the application ADAMS. The respondent had received three written warnings.
