In March 2017 the National Doping Control Commission of Chile (CNCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the swimmer Carlos Haroldo Muñoz Aedo after his 2 samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine).
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 acknowledged that he had purchased and used a product while he was unaware that it contained a prohibited substance and he had failed to check this product before using.
The Panel finds that the presence of a prohibited substance had been established in his samples and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation. The Panel deems that the violation was not intentional without grounds for a further reduction of the sanction.
Therefore the TED Disciplinary Panel decides on 20 October 2017 to impose 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 20 March 2017.
