TED 2017_07 CNCD vs Karla Vallejos Puchi

In September 2016 the National Doping Control Commission of Chile (CNCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the cyclist Karla Vallejos Puchi after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Furosemide.

After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the Disciplinary Panel of the Tribunal de Expertos en Dopaje (TED).

The Athlete admitted the violation and denied the intentional use of the substance. He explained that he underwent treament for his condition and used prescribed medication. Feeling unwell in July 2016 he self-medicated with Furosemide.

The CNCD did not accept the Athlete's explanation and contended that the found concentration of the substance in the Athlete's sample was inconsistent with his claimed ingestion a week before the sample collection.

The Panel finds that the presence of a prohibited substance has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation.

The Panel deems that there are inconsistencies in the Athlete's explanation and concludes that he had used the substance intentionally.

Therefore the TED Disciplinary Panel decides on 31 January 2017 to impose 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 14 September 2016.
