World Athletics 2019 WA vs Carina Horn
September 10, 2021
Previously on 10 September 2021 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) for World Athletics decided to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the South African Athlete Carina Horn, after she tested positive for the prohibited substances Ibutamoren and LGD-4033 (ligandrol).
Hereafter in June 2022 the Basque Anti-Doping Agency reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after her A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Clenbuterol.
Consequently on 13 March 2023 the Basque public authorities decided to impose a 6 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete for her second anti-doping rule violation.
Thereupon the Athlete's appeal was dismissed by the Basque public authorities and the AIU was informed about the imposed sanction.
Because the Basque public authorities are not a Signatory of the WADA Code the AIU investigated whether the Basque Decision and the Basque Anti-Doping Act were consistent with the WADA Code.
Following assessment the AIU deemed that the Basque Anti-Doping Act is consistent with the WADA Code in all its material aspects. Accordingly the Basque Decision regarding Carina Horn must be implemented by World Athletics, the AIU and member federations.
Therefore the AIU decides on 2 August for implementation of a 6 year period of ineligibility imposed on the Athlete Carine Horn for her second anti-doping rule violation, starting on 13 March 2023.
