ISADDP 2014 AI Preliminary Disciplinary Decision 20143457
November 12, 2014

In June 2014 the Irish Sports Council (ISC) has reported an Anti-Doping Rule Violation against the Athlete IS-3457 (the Athlete) after his A and B (urine) samples tested positive for the prohibited substance recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO).

the Athlete disputed the validity of the test results and requested a DNA analysis of the samples. The Athlete argued that:
- his blood analysis were negative;
- the documentation for the sequence of events was incorrect;.
- He is innocent of any wrongdoing.

The Cologne laboratory stated to the Irish Sports Council that the Athlete's B blood sample could not be frozen and therefore was not suitable for long-term storage and had been destroyed. Also the Athlete's blood sample was not tested for EPO.
DNA analysis of the urine B-sample as requested by the Athlete was not performed because of the high costs.

Considering the costs of testing and the Athlete's arguments the Panel decides in the preliminary decision to refuse new tests for the Athlete's B sample.

After the expert witness statements the Panel concludes that not only were the various tests on the A and B samples properly carried out but that they establish the presence of rhEPO in the Athlete's A and B samples.

Without grounds for a reduced sanction the Panel decides on 16 July 2015 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension.
