CAS 2021_ADD_33 IOC vs Chijindu Ujah
February 18, 2022
In August 2022 during the Tokyo Olympic Games the International Testing Agency (ITA) on behalf of the IOC has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the British Athlete Chijindu Ujah after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Enobosarm (Ostarine). After notification both the ITA and the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) ordered a provisional suspension on the Athlete.
Consequently on 18 February 2022 the Anti-Doping Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS-ADD) decided that the Athlete had committed an anti-doping rule violation. His results were disqualified including the results of the Great Britain Men's Team.
Hereafter the case was referred to the AIU to determine sanctions based on the Athlete's anti-doping rule violation. Both Parties entered into a Case Resolution Agreement. The Athlete gave a prompt admission and established that the violation was the result of his ingestion of a contaminated supplement.
Therefore the AIU decides on 29 September 2022 to impose a 22 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 6 August 2021.
