October 9, 2012
In June 2010 the Ministry of the French Community of Belgium reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Belgian professional mountain biker Roel Paulissen after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Clomiphene.
Consequently on 22 November 2010 the Royale Ligue Vélocipédique Belge (RLVB) Disciplinary Commission decided to impose a fine and a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete.
Hereafter both the International Cycling Union (UCI) and the Athlete appealed the RLVB Decision with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The CAS Panel upheld the UCI appeal and decided on 23 December 2010 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athelete and a 20,800 Euro fine instead of the previous 7,500 Euro fine.
Thereupon the Athlete appealed the CAS decision without succes with the Swiss Federal Court.
