April 21, 2016
In December 2014 the French Federation for Judo, Jujitsu, Kendo and Associated Disciplines (FFJDA), has reported a second anti-doping rule violation against the Respondent M42 for three whereabouts filing failures within a 12 month period.
After notification and a provisional suspension the FFJDA imposed on 5 February 2015 a 10 month period of ineligibility on the Respondent. Hereafter the AFLD appealed the FFJDA decision and started new disciplinary proceedings against respondent M42.
The Respondent admitted his whereabouts failures, expressed his regrets and he disputed the reliability and flexibility of ADAMS to report his new whereabouts within 17 hours. He argued that his failures were not intentional and that his samples tested negative.
The AFLD finds that the respondent failed to report his whereabouts three times and failed to prove that he made additional and appropriate efforts to report his new whereabouts on time to the AFLD.
Considering this is the Respondent's second anti-doping rule violation the AFLD decides on 10 september 2015 to annul the FFJA decision of 5 February 2015 and to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Respondent, starting on de date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 11 December 2014.
