In January 2017 the National Doping Control Commission of Chile (CNCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Karateka David Israel Dubó Firmani after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Stanozolol.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement with evidence in his defence and the was heard for the Disciplinary Panel of the Tribunal de Expertos en Dopaje (TED).
The Athlete admitted the violation, denied the intentional use and that it was out-of-competition. He explained with medical evidence that he suffered from depressions and also was treated for his libido dysfunction using prescribed stanozol to improve his testosterone levels. He acknowledged that he didn't inform others about his medical condidtion and the treatment he underwent.
The Panel accepts the Athlete's explanation and concludes that as an experienced internationale level Athlete who was tested before he failed to apply for a TUE nor did he check his medication for prohibited substances before using it.
Therefore on 5 November 2017 the TED Disciplinary Panel decides to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 18 January 2017.
