On 4 December 2017 the Disciplinary Commission of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) decided to disqualify the results of the Iraqi wrestler Ahmed Salah Al-Jamie after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Methasterone. Previously when notified in November 2017 a provional suspension was ordered and the Athlete denied the intentional use of any prohibited substance.
Hereafter in January 2018 the case was transferred to United World Wrestling (UWW) and proceedings were opened against the Athlete. After notification the Athlete failed to respond to any of the communications from UWW.
Without the Athlete’s response the UWW Anti-Doping Panel deems that the Athlete has admitted the charge, to have waived his right for a hearing and /or file a statement in his defence, and to have accepted the consequences. Without any ground for a reduction of the sanction the UWW Anti-Doping Panel decides on 9 February 2018 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on 12 January 2018.
