In September 2022 World Rugby reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Chilean rugby player Jaime Paredes after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Oxandrolone.
Following notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by World Rugby. The Athlete denied the intentional use and assumed that the supplement he had used was the source of the prohibited substance.
Because the Athlete gave a prompt admission and signed the acceptance of sanction within the set deadline he received a 1 year reduction from World Rugby.
Therefore World Rugby decides on 9 February 2023 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 15 September 2022.
