In March 2019 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) referred a reported anti-doping rule violation to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD) after the Modern Penthathlon Athlete tested positivie for the prohibited substances GW501516 and Oxandrolone.
ABCD contended that the Athlete failed to demonstrate that the violation was not intentional, nor how the substances had entered her system. The Athlete claimed that she by accident had used the prescribed Oxandrolone for her parent, yet she did not explain the presence of the substance GW501516.
The Rapporteur finds that the presence of the prohibited substances has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that she committed an anti-doping rule violation.
The Rapporteur agrees that the Athlete could not explain the high concentration found in her sample whereas there was any explanation regarding the presence ow GW501516. Nevertheless the Rapporteur deems that the Athlete acted with No Significant Fault or Negligence for the imposition of a reduced sanction.
Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides by majority on 15 July 2019 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the decision.
