In March 2015 Lyfjaráð ÍSÍ, the Iceland ISI Anti-Doping Committee, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Jóhann Birgir Ingvarsson after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance oxandrolone with a T/E ratio above the WADA threshold.
After notification an provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete filed a statement in his defence.
The Athlete admitted the violation and stated that he had used a product DAA as testosterone booster provided by a ‘friend’ and probably ‘under the table’.
The Tribunal concludes that the Athlete was negligent without intention to enhance his performance. Considering his substantial assistance the Tribunal of the National Olympic and Sport Association of Iceland (ÍSÍ) decides on 15 May 2015 to impose a 6 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension.
