TJD-AD 2019-065 Disciplinary Decision - Gymnastics
December 17, 2019


On 17 December 2019 the TJD-AD Panel decides by majority to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Furosemide.

In first instance the Panel deemed that there were inconsistencies in the Athlete's statements about the use of the substance and the concentration found in her sample.

Hereafter the Athlete appealed the Decision with the TJD-AD Appeal Tribunal and requested for a reduced sanction. She argued that she was a minor, gave a prompt admission and had demonstrated how and when the substance had entered her system.

In view of the evidence the Rapporteur concludes that the Athlete's violation was not intentional despite that she was an experienced Athlete as a minor and had acted with a medium degree of negligence.

Therefore the TJD-AD Appeal Panel decides on 31 March 2020 by majority to impose a reduced 12 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 7 June 2019.
