This was a second in-competition positive test, respondent tested positive on December 3 , 2006 at the American Open in Birmingham Alabama. Respondent accepted a three months period of ineligibility from competition with the three months deferred if he completed USADA's Online education program.
The rules when the period of ineligibility of the IWF are in conflict with the World Anti-Doping Code. Respondent accepted a provisional suspension. At a pre-hearing on April 28, 2008, respondent argues that a 2 years suspension is too long.
The hearing decision: the appropriate period of ineligibility is two years, starting from de date of provisional suspension.
