TJD-AD 2020-009 Appeal Decision - Athletics
December 12, 2019
In November 2018 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete for possession of the prohibited substance Erythropoietin (EPO).
The Athlete's club had established that the Athlete had received a parcel containing EPO. The Athlete admitted the purchase of EPO and consequently the club terminated his contract.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the case was transferred to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD).
In view of the evidence and the Athlete's admission the Rapporteur finds that the Athlete had committed an anti-doping rule violation for possession of EPO without grounds for a reduced sanction.
Therefore the TJD-AD Paneld decides on 26 August 2019 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 30 April 2019.
