IOC 2016 IOC vs Ilya Ilin (Beijng Olympiad)
November 22, 2016

Mr. Ilya Ilin is a Kazakh Athlete competing in the Men’s 94 kg weightlifting event at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Previously the Athlete also competed at the Beijing 2008 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 June 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 IWF ordered a provisional suspension and the Athlete was excluded for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The Athlete submitted that he did not challenge the test results and he waived his right to be heard for the IOC Disciplinary Commission.

The IOC was also informed that reanalysis of the Athlete’s samples provided at the Beijng 2008 Olympic Games tested positive for the prohibited substance stanozolol.

The Commission finds that the Athlete did not challenge the test results and concludes that the Athlete has committed an anti-doping rule violation consistent with the intentional use of prohibited substances specifically ingested to deliberately improve performance. The fact that the metabolite of two doping substances, which are “classical” doping substances, were found, supports this consideration.

The Commission notes that the samples collected on the occasion of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games were also found to contain a Prohibited Substance, stanozolol, which was also detected in the samples collected in 2012, more than suggests that the Athlete has been using doping on a regular basis throughout his career. He could evade detection until the new methods based on long-term metabolites finally exposed him.

Therefore the IOC Disciplinary Commission decides on 22 November 2016 that the Athlete, Ilya Ilin:

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,
2.) is disqualified from the Men’s 94 kg weightlifting event in which he participated upon the occasion of the Olympic Games London 2012,
3.) has the medal, the medallist pin and the diploma obtained in the Men’s 94 kg weightlifting event withdrawn and is ordered to return the same.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 medal, medallist pin and diploma awarded in connection with the Men’s 94 kg weightlifting event to the Athlete.
7.) This decision enters into force immediately.
