TJD-AD 2018-042 Disciplinary Decision - Armwrestling
May 9, 2018
In 2018 the TJD-AD decided to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the amateur armwrestler after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Hydrochlorothiazide.
Here the Athlete could demonstrate with medical evidence that the substance was used as prescribed medication for his condition, whereas he had mentioned the use of the substance on the Doping Control Form.
Hereafter the Athlete appealed the TJD-AD Decision with the TJD-AD Appeal Tribunal and requested for a further reduced sanction.
The TJD-AD Rapporteur establishes that the Athlete had admitted the violation and had mentioned the use of the substance on the Doping Control Form. Yet he agrees with the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) that there are no grounds for a further reduction of the sanction.
Therefore the TJD-AD Appeal Tribunal decides on 26 December 2018 to dismiss the Athlete's appeal and to uphold the Appealed Decision for the imposition of a 2 year period of ineligibility, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 15 July 2017.
