Following notification the Athlete timely admitted the violation, waived her right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the AIU. The Parties went into a Case Resolution Agreement.

The amateur Athlete acknowledged with corroboration evidence that she had had purchased and used Meldonium without a prescription. She asserted that she was unaware that Meldonium was a prohibited substance.
