Facts
The French Athletics Federation (Fédération Française d'Athlétisme, FFA) charges Bertrand Moulinet, the athlete, for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. The athlete provided a sample for an in-competition doping control on April 13, 2015. The sample showed the presence of FG-4592 which is a prohibited substance according the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) 2015 prohibited list.
History
The athlete had mentioned medication but these are known for containing budesonide instead of FG-4592. Budesonide was not detected.
On March 30, 2015, the athlete had also been tested positive during an out-of-competition doping test for FG-4592. But the two findings are seen as only one doping violation.
Decision
1. The doping violation has been established and there were no objections.
2. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of four years in which the athlete can not take part in competition or manifestations organized or authorized by the FFA and related French sport federations.
3. The decision starts on the date of notification.
