On 10 April 2015 la Fédération Française de Football (FFF) – the French Football Federation – decided to impose a 6 month period of ineligibility on the Respondent M54 after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance cannabis in a concentration above the WADA threshold.
Hereafter in May 2015 the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) opened disciplinary proceedings against Respondent M54.
Because the Respondent failed to file a statement in his defence the AFLD decides on 22 October 2015 to impose a 1 year period of ineligibility on the Respondent, less the period already served and starting on the date of the notification of the FFF decision to the Respondent M54, i.e. on 20 April 2015.
