In August 2018 the United World Wrestling (UWW) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Kyrgyzian wrestler Muslim Evloev after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (Turinabol). After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete filed a statement with evidence in his defence.
In his submission the Athlete denied the intentional use of the substance and with statements of his coach and his teamdoctor he raised the assumption that the positive test result was caused by the ingestion of contaminated meat. Also the Athlete sent samples of his medication and supplements for analysis to the Cologne Lab.
After consultation of WADA and the Laboratory the UWW Anti-Doping Panel rejected the Athlete’s assumption about the meat or dairy contamination with Turinabol and failed to produce evidence in support of his assumption. Also the Panel holds that the Athlete didn’t file any test results of the Cologne Lab regarding analysis of his medication and supplements he used. As a result the Panel concludes that the Athlete failed to establish how the substance entered his system.
Therefore the UWW Anti-Doping Panel decides on 2 May 2019 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 15 August 2018. Further the Panel decides to impose a CHF 20’000 fine on the Kyrgyz Wresting Federation.
