In April 2015 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Marius Ragea after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance salbutamol.
After notification the Athlete filed a statement with evidence in his defence and was heard for the ANAD Hearing Commission.
The Athlete stated that he used the prescribed medications Ventolin and Miofilin for his asthma without a TUE and he declared his medication on the Doping Control Form.
Considering the Athlete’s medical file and statement the ANAD Hearing Commission concludes that Athlete suffers from asthma since childhood and uses the medication Ventolin (salbutamol) without intention to enhance his performance.
Without significant fault or negligence the ANAD Hearing Commission decides on 4 June 2015 only to reprimand the Athlete.
