In September 2010 the Agenţia Naţională Anti-Doping (ANAD), the National Anti-Doping Agency of Romania, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Ioan Cristian Costescu after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine).
The Athlete stated he suffered from acne vulgaris and therefore used the medication oxsorale, prescribed by his doctor. The leaflet of this medication did not mention the prohibited substance found in the Athlete’s sample.
The ANAD Hearing Commission decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete.
