Mr. Igor Yerokhin is a Russian Athlete who previously served a 2 year period of ineligibility until September 2010. Further a lifetime ban was imposed for an ABP violation as second violation including disqualification of his results since February 2011.
In 2016, Professor Richard McLaren issued two reports about systemic doping in Russia. These reports identified a significant number of Russian athletes who were involved in, or benefitted from, the doping schemes and practices that he uncovered.
Hereafter in January 2019 the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) recovered the internal database of the Moscow Laboratory (LIMS). Following investigation of allegations of organized doping practices, and in particular of the LIMS, WADA provided international federations with investigation reports on the athletes implicated in these organized doping practices.
As a result in May 2022 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) of World Athletics reported a new anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Igor Yerokhin for the use of the prohibited substances GW1516 and Pseudoephedrine in May 2012.
After notification the Athlete failed to respond to the AIU communications. Without his response the AIU deems that he has waived his right to a hearing, to have accepted the asserted anti-doping rule violation and the sanction rendered by the AIU.
The AIU considers that already a lifetime ban was imposed on the Athlete for his second anti-doping rule violation including disqualification of his results since 25 February 2013. Under the Rules the AIU concludes that the 2012 violation shall be considered as a second violation together with the previous second violation committed.
Furthermore the AIU holds that the Athlete's 2012 violation can't be subject to a more severe sanction for the imposition of an additional period of ineligibility, nor disqualifation of his results.
Therefore the AIU decides on 25 August 2022 that the Athlete had committed an anti-doping rule violation without further sanctions.
