World Athletics 2023 WA vs Besha Teshome

In January 2023 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) on behalf of World Athletics reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Ethiopian Athlete Besha Teshome after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Testosterone and its metabolites.

After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the AIU. The Athlete explained that he had self-medicated with Testosterone as treatment for his medical condition.

Because the Athlete signed and submitted the Admission of Anti-Doping Rule Violations and Acceptance of Consequences Form he received a 1 year reduction from the AIU.

Therefore the AIU decides on 11 May 2023 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 16 January 2023.
