IOC 2016 IOC vs Gulfiya Khanafeeva

Ms Gulfiya Khanafeeva is a Russian Athlete competing in the Women’s hammer throw 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 December 2016 the International Olympic Committee reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after her 2012 sample tested positive for the prohibited substance dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol). After notification the Athlete failed to respond.

The Commission finds that the Athlete has been duly notified and with the positive test results the Commission concludes that the Athlete has committed an anti-doping rule violation consistent with intentional use of prohibited substances specifically ingested to deliberately improve performance. The fact that the metabolites of a doping substance, which is a “classical” doping substance, was found, supports this consideration.

Therefore IOC Disciplinary Commission decides on 15 March 2017 that the Athlete Gulfiya Khanafeeva:

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 Women’s hammer throw event in which she participated upon the occasion of the Olympic Games London 2012,
3.) The IAAF is requested to modify the results of the above-mentioned event accordingly and to consider any further action within its own competence.
4.) This decision enters into force immediately.
