In January 2018 the National Doping Control Commission of Chile (CNCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Sebastian Andre Valdivia Floresafter his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances 19-norandrosterone and 19-noretiocholanolone (Nandrolone).
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 accepted the test results, admitted the violation, denied the intentional use of the substances.
He assumed that his consumption of meat or his use of the product Tribulus Terrestris testosterone booster might have caused the positive test results. He argued that he was tested before without issues and didn't have the resources to buy expensive substances as Nandrolone.
The Panel finds that the Athlete failed to provide evidence in support of his arguments and assertions. Also the Panel considers that he admitted the violation and gave an explanation how the substance entered his system.
Therefore on 6 June 2018 the TED Disciplinary Panel decides to impose a 30 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 25 January 2018.
