In November 2015 the National Doping Control Commission of Chile (CNCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the karate Athlete Rodrigo Idro Ramírez after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Modafinil.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete attended the hearing of the Disciplinary Panel of the Tribunal de Expertos en Dopaje (TED).
The Athlete denied the intentional use of the substance and explained how the substance entered his system. As a result the Panel accepts that the violation was not intentional.
The Disciplinary Panel 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.
Therefore the TED Disciplinary Panel decides on 6 April 2016 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 13 November 2015.
