On 19 December 2017 the Disciplinary Commission of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) decided to disqualify the results of the Turkmen wrestler Dinara Hallyyeva after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Meldonium. Previously at a hearing in November 2017 the Athlete could not explain how the substance entered her system.
Hereafter the case was transferred to United World Wrestling (UWW) and proceedings were opened in February 2018 against the Athlete. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and 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 her right for a hearing and /or file a statement in her defence, and to have accepted the consequences. Therefore the UWW Anti-Doping Panel decides on 7 March 2018 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on 9 February 2018.
