TJD-AD 2018-139 Appeal Decision - Bodybuilding
December 29, 2018
In January 2018 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the bodybuilder after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Anastrozole, Drostanolone and Oxandrolone.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete gave a prompt admission and denied the intentional use of the substances. He stated that he is an amateur bodybuilder with lack of knowledge and requested for a reduced sanction based on his prompt admission.
The Rapporteur finds that the presence of prohibited substances has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation. Further Rapporteur considers the Athlete's prompt admission and that there are no grounds for a reduced sanction.
Therefore the TJD-AD decides on 27 September 2018 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 9 December 2017.
