IOC 2016 IOC vs Almas Uteshov

Mr. Almas Uteshov is a Kazakh Athlete competing in the Men’s 94 kg weightlifting event at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

In 2016, the IOC decided to perform further analyses on certain samples collected during the 2012 Olympic Games. These additional analyses were performed with analytical methods which were not available in 2012.

In July 2016 the International Olympic Committee reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his 2012 A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substances dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol) and stanozolol. After notification the Athlete returned only the AAF Notification Appendix and hereafter failed to respond to the IOC submissions.

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

Therefore the IOC Disciplinary Commission decides on 10 November 2016 that the Athlete, Almas Uteshov:

1.) is found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation pursuant to the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London in 2012 (presence, and/or use, of Prohibited Substances or its Metabolites or Markers in an athlete’s bodily specimen),
2.) is disqualified from the Men’s 94 kg weightlifting event in which he participated upon the occasion of the Olympic Games London 2012, in which he ranked 7th and for which he was awarded a diploma,
3.) has the diploma obtained in the Men’s 94 kg weightlifting event withdrawn and is ordered to return the same.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 94 kg weightlifting event to the Athlete.
7.) This decision enters into force immediately.
