After notification the Player filed a statement and evidence in his defence and was heard for the FIBA Disciplinary Panel.

April 11, 2011

In March 2010, the Russian tennis player Andrei Plotniy admitted that he had committed an anti-doping rule violation after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Carphedon.

Consequently he accepted a 15 month period of ineligibility, starting on 1 November 2009. However in 2010 he participated in five tennis competitions authorized by the German tennis federation.

The representative of the player explained that his client wasn't aware he was no allowed to play tennis for a national association, he will return any prize money he obtained and will apologize to the tournament organizers.

The ITF decides on 20 September 2010 that:

1.) The results that Mr Plotniy obtained in the events are disqualified, and the ranking points awarded therein are forfeited, along with the following prize money;

2.) The original 15-month period of Ineligibility imposed on Mr Plotniy now starts over again as from the date of his last participation in the events noted above, i.e., 22 August 2010, so that it will end at midnight on 21 November 2011. As a result, until that date Mr Plotniy may not ‘play, coach or otherwise participate in any capacity in (a) a Covered Event, any other Event or Competition, or any other kind of function, event or activity (other than authorized anti-doping education or rehabilitation programs) authorized, organized or sanctioned by the ITF, the ATP, the WTA, or any National Association or member of a National Association; or (b) any Event or Competition authorized or organized by any professional league, or any international or national-level Event or Competition organization.’ (See Article M.10.1 of the Program). If he has any doubt as to exactly what this prohibition covers, or whether it covers a particular event in which he would like to participate, he should check with the ITF before participating in that event.

3.) In accordance with the Program, the foregoing decision that Mr Plotniy has violated the prohibited against participation while ineligible, and that a reduction under Article M.5.2 is not appropriate, may be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in accordance with Article O of the Program. Under Article O.5.1 of the Program, the deadline for filing that appeal is 21 days from receipt of the decision being appealed.

4.) Mr Plotniy and those other bodies that have a right of appeal under Article O of the Program may appeal against this decision, such appeal to be filed within 21 days of receipt of this decision.
