The Sanctions Thread

[Hawkpeter]

And never forget the utter shit show that drug testing was in Rio.

Hot on the heels of the McLaren report, and there were so many reports of athletes not being tested, chaperones getting lost, the lab there was de-affiliated - the charade continues.

The ITA acknowledges the CAS decision. That puts a nail in that coffin.

I get the use of clomiphene for men, but for women? That's pretty strange.

As a woman, a high-performance athlete, and a representative of Ecuadorian sport at the international elite, I address the public with complete transparency, ethics, and a commitment to the truth.
My career in sports has been marked by effort, discipline, and integrity. Each medal I have won has been the result of years of constant training, personal sacrifice, and unrestricted adherence to the principles that govern fair play. It has not been an easy path, but it has been guided by honesty and respect for Olympic values.
After my participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, a shoulder injury forced me to enter a recovery process in August of that same year. This pause, although complex, also allowed me to reconnect with a vital aspect of my life project: motherhood. Starting in January 2025, I began specialized medical treatment in fertility, accompanied by healthcare professionals, complying with all the clinical and legal requirements that this type of procedure demands
As part of this medical process, on April 7, 2025, during an out-of-competition doping control, a substance derived from said treatment was detected in my sample. It should be noted that this substance is medically supported and prescribed. However, I acknowledge that due to a lapse of judgment, it was not included in the corresponding form, which constitutes an involuntary administrative offense and not an attempt to violate anti-doping rules.
I am currently processing a retroactive Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) with the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), in accordance with the regulatory framework of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This legal provision contemplates the possibility of justifying the use of a prohibited substance provided there is medical evidence, an absence of an intention to improve athletic performance, and complete transparency on the part of the athlete
I have submitted all the medical documentation that supports my situation, fully trusting that it will be analyzed with the rigor, human sensitivity, and justice that this case deserves. My commitment to clean sport remains intact. I have undergone multiple checkups throughout my career, always with negative results, and I remain convinced that compliance with the rules is a fundamental pillar of sport.
This episode represents a complex moment, but also an opportunity to highlight the reality of many female athletes who face reproductive health issues while maintaining our active careers. I call for a comprehensive understanding of these types of situations, one that considers not only the competitive dimension of sport, but also human rights, health, and the athletes' life plans.
I sincerely thank those who have expressed their solidarity and trust. With my faith intact, my heart strong, and my motivation renewed, I continue my preparation with my eyes set on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, with the firm goal of continuing to uphold Ecuador's name

More or less what I was expecting of the defence, which may or may not be true. It is certainly plausible.
