TED 2017_25 CNCD vs María Jesus Barrios Porzio

In March 2017 the National Doping Control Commission of Chile (CNCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the surfer María Jesus Barrios Porzio after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis in a concentration above the WADA threshold.

After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and she 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. She explained that she underwent medical treatment for her condition and that the use of a prescribed antidepressant effected her sports performance. As alternative her doctor recommended the out-of-competition use of concentrated Cannabis drops.

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

The Panel concludes that the violation was not intentional and  occurred out-of-competition in a context unrelated to sport performance.

Therefore the TED Disciplinary Panel decides on 20 October 2017 to impose a 10 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 20 March 2017.
