TJD-AD 2020-007 Disciplinary Decision - Athletics
December 17, 2020
On 17 December 2020 the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD) decided to impose a 4 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete after he tested positive for the prohibited substance Enobosarm (Ostarine).
In this case the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) established and confirmed that the Athlete’s prescribed supplements were contaminated in the pharmacy that had compounded these supplements for the Athlete.
Hereafter the ABCD appealed the TJD-AD decision with the TJD-AD Appeal Tribunal and requested for a more severe sanction in view of the Athlete’s conduct. ABCD contended that the Athlete had acted negligently because he had used 35 supplements that might constitute or result in a higher risk of contamination.
The TJD-AD Appeal Panel considered the Athlete’s conduct an his degree of negligence and decides by majority on 13 April 2021 to uphold the Appealed Decision of 17 December 2020 for the imposition of a 4 month period of ineligibility.
