WAKO has announced that the WAKO Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel has confirmed that Following a doping control test conducted on 25th October 2009 a prohibited substance Ephedrine was found in the test sample A of a Mr Ehram Madjidov.

Therefore it was confirmed and defined that as per article 7.1.4 of the code, a Prohibited Substance was identified in A sample and this finding was duly reported to the interpreter and athletes representative Sadikh Bagirov by writing as the representative of the Athlete and the appropriate.

The athlete through his representative confirmed the substance had been taken in error through by written correspondence on 21-01-2010 it was stated/ “ After some discussions we decided to go along with the fact of positive test, since the athlete used bronkholitin (liquid against cold, flue and bad breath) which has the ephedrine among other components. That’s why this would be really useless from our side to argue with the fact of positive test of the first sample ” .

Therefore as defined in article 7.1.4 of the code of the WAKO Anti-Doping Rules (Rules) the WAKO Anti-Doping
Disciplinary Panel found that kick-boxer Ehram Madjidov had committed a violation.

Where an Athlete can establish that the Use of such a specified substance was not intended to enhance sport performance, the period of Ineligibility found in Article 10.2 shall be replaced with the following:

First violation: At a minimum, a warning and reprimand and no period of Ineligibility from future Events, and at a maximum, one (1) year’s Ineligibility. Second violation: Two (2) years’ Ineligibility. Third violation: Lifetime Ineligibility.

The Panel had experienced significant delays for various reasons in processing this positive analytical finding all said delays were not on the part of WAKO or the doping panel and are regrettable, but where not cause by an action or inaction by WAKO or its officers.
