In August 2017 the National Doping Control Commission of Chile (CNCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the weightlifter Jorge Alfredo Fuentes Calfuñanco after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Octopamine.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the Disciplinary Panel of the Tribunal de Expertos en Dopaje (TED).
The Athlete admitted the intentional use of the substance and stated that the product was provided by another athlete. As a result he also resigned als leader of his sporting club.
Therefore on 15 December 2017 the TED Disciplinary Panel decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 14 August 2017.
