In December 2022 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) on behalf of World Athletics has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Dominican Athlete Ana Lucia José Tima after her A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substances Enobosarm (Ostarine) and GW501516.
Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete alleged that the medication she had used after knee surgery in 2021 was the source of the positive test. However the AIU determined in March 2023 that her medication did not contain banned substances.
Ultimately in March 2023 the Athlete acknowledged the purchase and use of products containing Enobosarm and GW501516. Thereupon in May 2023 the Athlete gave a timely admission, waived her right for a hearing and accepted the sanction proposed by the AIU.
Because the Athlete had signed and submitted the Admission of Anti-Doping Rule Violations and Acceptance of Consequences Form she received a 1 year reduction from the AIU.
Therefore the AIU decides on 4 July 2023 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 12 December 2022.
