On 26 June 2015 the French Federation for Kick Boxing, Muay Thai and Associated Disciplines (FFKMDA) decided to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the muay thai Athlete after he tested positive for the prohibited substances Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA).
Hereafter the case was reopened by the AFLD. Following notification the Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard.
The Athlete admitted the violation, denied the intentional use and requested for a reduced sanction. He explained that he had used tablets recreationally 2 weeks before the sample collection.
The AFLD considers that the Athlete had used prohibited and illegal substances without a medical justification. Further the AFLD deems that the concentration found in his sample was not consistent with his alleged use 2 weeks before the Doping Control.
Therefore the AFLD decides on 7 January 2016 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 13 March 2015.
