In April 2017 United World Wrestling (UWW) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Azerbaijani Athlete Islambek Dadov after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Clomiphene. After notification the Athlete filed a statement in his defence and didn’t request for a hearing.
The Athlete accepted the test result and stated with evidence that he underwent medical treatment for his condition and had used medication prescribed by his doctor. The Athlete didn’t know that this medication contained a prohibited susbstance and he acknowledged that he didn’t inform his team doctor about his treatment.
The UWW Anti-Doping Panel accepts the Athlete’s explanation and evidence and finds that he established that the violation was not intentional and how the prohibited substance entered his system. The Panel holds that Athlete could have avoided the anti-doping rule violation through the application for a TUE. Based on all circumstances in this case and the Athlete’s degree of fault the Panel considers that there a grounds for the imposition of a reduced sanction.
Therefore the UWW Anti-Doping Panel decides on 28 July 2017 to impose a 12 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the decision.
