In August 2020 the Hungarian Anti-Doping Group (HUNADO) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the horse rider Tót László after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Amfetamine. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete was heard for the HUNADO Doping Committee.
The Athlete accepted the test results and denied the use of the substance. He could not explain how the Amfetamine had entered his system and argued that he was tested before without issues.
The Doping Committee finds that the presence of a prohibited substance has been established in the Athlete’s samples and accordingly that he had committed an anti-doping rule violation. The Committee considers that the Athlete failed to demonstrate that the violation was not intentional, nor other grounds for a reduced sanction.
Therefore the HUNADO Doping Committee decides on 15 October 2020 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 28 August 2020.
