In March 2018 the Colombian Athletics Federation (FECODATLE) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Julieth Paola Caballero Marzola after her sample tested positive for endogenous 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone).
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and she was heard for the FECODATLE Disciplinary Commission.
The Athlete denied the intentional use of the substance and stated that she only had used normal products. She explained that 3 months before the sample collection she had been pregnant but later had a miscarriage. She assumed that hereafter her hormonal disorder could have caused the positive test for endogenous 19-norandrosterone.
The Disciplinary Commission accepts that the postive test was the result of endogenous production of 19-norandrosterone. Further the Commission considers that the Lab had confirmed that the found substance was endogenous and it had excluded other sources such as genetic doping.
Therefore the Disciplinary Commission concludes that No Fault or Negligence had been established and decides on 17 September 2018 to acquit the Athlete and to lift the imposed provisional suspension.
