FEI 2022 FEI vs Chiara Marrama

In February 2022 the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Italian rider for her refusal or failure to submit to sample collection after notification.

The Doping Control Officer (DCO) reported that in November 2021 at the Doping Control Station the Athlete refused to provide a sample because she was menstruating. She became upset when the DCO explained to her that this was not a valid reason to refuse to provide a test. Although duly informed about the consequences the DCO and a FEI official could not convince the Athlete to provide a sample and ultimately she left the Doping Control Station.

Hereafter the Athlete gave a timely admission, accepted a provisional suspension, signed an Acceptance of Consequences Form and received a 1 year reduction. The FEI Tribunal was requested to issue a decision based on the written submissions of the parties.

Therefore the FEI Tribunal decides on 3 May 2022 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 2 December 2021.
