Mr Oleksiy Torokhtiy is a Ukrainian Athlete competing in the Men’s Weightlifting event at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
In 2018, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to perform further analyses on certain samples collected during the 2012 Olympic Games. These additional analyses were performed with analytical methods which were not available in 2012.
In December 2018 the International Testing Agency (ITA), on behalf of the IOC, reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his 2012 A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (Turinabol). After notification the Athlete admitted the violation, accepted the test results and the consequenses of his anti-doping rule violation.
The IOC Disciplinary Commission holds that the test results established the presence of Turinabol in the Athlete’s samples and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation as admitted, accepted and confirmed by the Athlete.
Therefore the IOC Disciplinary Commission decides on 5 November 2019 that the Athlete, Oleksiy Torokhtiy:
1.) is found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation pursuant to the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London in 2012 (presence of Prohibited Substances or their Metabolites or Markers in the Athlete’s bodily specimen),
2.) is disqualified from the events in which he participated upon the occasion of the 2012 Olympic Games, namely, the Men’s 105kg Weightlifting event, and
3.) has the medal, diploma, and pin obtained in the Men’s 105kg Weightlifting event withdrawn and is ordered to return them.
4.) The IWF is requested to modify the results of the above-mentioned event accordingly and to consider any further action within its own competence.
5.) The National Olympic Committee of Ukraine shall ensure full implementation of this decision.
6.) The decision enters into force immediately.
