In April and in May 2015 the French Athletics Federation (FFA) reported two anti-doping rule violations against the Athlete after his samples, collected in March and in April 2015, tested positive for the prohibited substance Roxadustat (FG-4592).
Hereafter on 28 May 2015 and on 1 July 2015 the FFA Disciplinary Panel decided to impose a fine and a total of 4 years on the Athlete. Thereupon the case was referred to French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) to consider further consequences.
The AFLD determines that:
- The Athlete had committed two anti-doping rule violations;
- The Athlete had admitted the intentional use of the substance.
Therefore the AFLD decides on 3 February 2016:
- to uphold the FFA decision for the imposition a sanction of 4 years on the Athlete;
- to report the decision and extend the sanction to the National and International Sports Federations.
