On 30 May 2014 the Tribunal of the National Olympic and Sport Association of Iceland (ÍSÍ) decided to impose a 3 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete Thorvaldur Arni Thorvaldsson after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance levmethamfetamine. On 18 June 2014 the ÍSÍ Appeal Court decided to reduce the 3 month sanction and to impose a 1 month period of ineligibility including the disqualification of the Athlete’s results in the competition of 6 March 2014.
In May 2015 the Iceland ISI Anti-Doping Committee, has reported a new anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Thorvaldur Arni Thorvaldsson after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance amphetamine.
After notification the Athlete a provisional suspension was ordered and he was heard for the Tribunal of the National Olympic and Sport Association of Iceland (ÍSÍ). The Athlete admitted the violation and argued that the use was out-of-competition and without intention to enhance his sport performance. He requested for a reduced sanction and stated that he was now under treatment for his addiction problems.
Considering this was the Athlete’s second violation and his history with alcohol and drugs the Tribunal decides on 1 October 2015 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibilility on the Athlete and disqualification of his results in the previous competitions.
