IOC 2016 IOC vs Vladimir Sedov

Mr. Vladimir Sedov is an Kazakh Athlete competing in the Men’s 85 kg weightlifting event at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

In 2016, the IOC decided to perform further analyses on certain samples collected during the 2008 Olympic Games. These additional analyses were performed with analytical methods which were not available in 2008.

In July 2016 the International Olympic Committee reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his 2008 A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance stanozolol.

After notification the Athlete submitted that the ISL in force at the time of the sample collection in 2008 should have been applied and that such did not allow to conduct the analysis on a split B-Sample.
The Athlete did not file a statement in his defence and waived his right to be heard for the IOC

The Disciplinary Commission observes that the Rules themselves do not specify the version of the ISL and finds that the process which led to the analytical finding was correctly conducted in application of the ISL in force at the time of the analysis.

The Commission concludes that the Athlete has committed an anti-doping rule violation consistent with intentional use of a prohibited substance specifically ingested to deliberately improve performance. The fact that the metabolite of a doping substance, which is a “classical” doping substance, was found, supports this consideration.

Therefore the IOC Disciplinary Commission decides on 10 November 2016 that the Athlete Vladimir Sedov:

1.) is found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation pursuant to the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing in 2008 (presence and/or use, of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in an athlete’s bodily specimen),
2.) is disqualified from the Men’s 85 kg weightlifting event in which he participated upon the occasion of the Olympic Games Beijing 2008,
3.) has the diploma obtained in the Men’s 85 kg weightlifting event withdrawn and is ordered to return the same.
4.) The IWF is requested to modify the results of the above-mentioned event accordingly and to consider any further action within its own competence.
5.) The National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan shall ensure full implementation of this decision.
6.) The National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan shall notably secure the return to the IOC, as soon as possible, of the diploma awarded in connection with the Men’s 85 kg weightlifting event to the Athlete.
7.) This decision enters into force immediately.
