Mr. Alexandru Dudoglo is a Moldovan Athlete competing in the 69 kg weightlifting event at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

In 2016, the IOC decided to perform further analyses on certain samples collected during the 2008 Olympic Games. These additional analyses were performed with analytical methods which were not available in 2008.

In May 2016 the International Olympic Committee reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his 2008 A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance stanozolol.
After notification the Athlete submitted that he accepted the test results, waived his right to be heard and filed a statement in his defence.

The Athlete denied the intentional use of prohibited substances and stated that he has been subject to several doping controls after the 2008 Olympic Games, including to surprise inspection by WADA.
Due to the long period between the sample collection and the proceedings the Athlete submitted that he could not prepare a strong defence. He could not explain the test results and was unable to test the food and supplements he used in 2008.

The Disciplinary Commission finds that the nature of the substance which was found in the Athlete’s sample is rather consistent with intentional use of a Prohibited Substance specifically ingested to deliberately improve performance and concludes that an anti-doping violation is established pursuant to both Art. 2.1 and Art. 2.2 of the Rules.

Therefore the IOC Disciplinary Commission decides on 29 August 2016 that the Athlete Alexandru Dudoglo:

1.) is found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation pursuant to the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing in 2008 (presence and/or use, of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in an athlete’s bodily specimen),
