CAS 2011/A/2537 WADA v/ Toni Milanovic & Croatian Muay Thai Federation
On 28 July 2010 the Croatian Muaythai Federation decided to impose a 1 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete Toni Milanovic after he tested positive for the prohibited substances Methylhexaneamine (1,3-dimethylamylamine), Boldenone and Salbutamol.
Hereafter in August 2011 the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed the Croatian Decision with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). WADA requested the Panel to set aside the Appealled Decision and to impose a sanction on the Athlete between 2 and 4 years.
During the CAS Proceedings the Croatian Muaythai Federation acknowledged that it had rendered an erroneous decision and that it shall start proceedings in order to render a new decision against the Athlete.
Thereupon in March 2012 WADA requested the Council of CAS to withdraw its appeal following the Croatian Muaythai Federation had set aside the Appealed Decision and imposed a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete.
Therefore on 30 August 2012 the Court of Arbitration for Sport pronounces:
1.) The procedure CAS 2011/A/2537 WADA v/ Tom Milanovic & Croatian Muay Thai Federation is terminated and deleted from the CAS roll.
2.) The Appellant shall bear the costs of the present procedure in an amount of CHF 2394.- (two thousand three hundred ninety-four Swiss francs).
3.) Respondent 2 shall bear the costs of the present procedure in an amount of CHF 2394.- /788.- (two thousand three hundred ninety-four- Swiss francs).
4.) Each party shall bear its own legal costs.
