In May and in June 2015 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, has reported 2 separate anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Florina Iuliana Iancu after her samples (provided on 9 April and on 2 May 2015) tested positive for the prohibited substance dehydrochlormethyltestosterone.
After notification in May 2015 for the first anti-doping rule violation a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and was heard for the ANAD Hearing Commission.
The Athlete admitted the use of dehydrochlormethyltestosterone following the advice of a friend and without consultation of her coach or team doctor.
Due to she provided a sample on 2 May 2015 the Athlete also admitted the second anti-doping violation.
During the disciplinary proceedings ANAD reported in June 2015 the second anti-doping rule violation after the Athlete’s sample, provided on 2 May 2015, also tested positive. The Athlete declined for another hearing about a violation she already gave a statement.
The Hearing Commission finds that the Athlete committed the second anti-doping violation (on 2 May 2015) before she received the notification for the first anti-doping violation (On 6 May 2015) and considers an additional sanction for only the first anti-doping rule violation.
Therefore on 22 July 2015 the ANAD Hearing Commission decides to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 8 May 2015.
