TED 2018_07 CNCD vs Minor Athlete

In March 2018 the National Doping Control Commission of Chile (CNCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the minor tennis player after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Canrenone.

After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Minor Athlete filed a statement in her defence and she was heard for the Disciplinary Panel of the Tribunal de Expertos en Dopaje (TED).

The Athlete's parents requested to set aside the allegations against their daughter. They contended that the Athlete's medication provided by her doctor and pharmacy could not be the source of the positive test as the medication was checked for prohibited substances. Also the substance Canrenone is not available in Chile.

The Panel holds that the Athlete's parents didn't provide evidence in support of their allegations and arguments. The Panel finds that the violation was not intentional as the CNCD did not provide evidence to the contrary.

The Panel considers that Minor Athlete was inexperienced, had not received anti-doping education and that the substance in question does not enhance sport performance for establishing No Significant Fault or Negligence.

Therefore on 6 June 2018 the TED Disciplinary Panel decides to impose a 6 month period of ineligibility on the Minor Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 6 March 2018.
