AEPSAD 2015 AEPSAD vs respondent E18
17 August 2015
In April 2015 the Spanish Agency for the Protection of Health in Sport (Agencia Española de Protección de la Salud en el Deporte, AEPSAD) has reported two anti-doping rule violations against the respondent E18 / E26 after his samples, collected on 1 and 15 March 2015, tested positive for the prohibited substance recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO).
After two notifications in two separate cases the respondent failed to attend the hearings, nor did he file a statement in his defence. Therefore AEPSAD decided on 17 August 2015 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility and a 3.000 euro fine on the Athlete as a result of the first positive test collected on 1 March 2015. The second reported positive test, collected on 15 March 2017, was considered to be the result of only one administration by the respondent.
Due to the respondent was already maximum sanctioned in the first case AEPSAD decides on 11 November 2015 not to impose new sanctions on the respondent because of the second test in this case.
