Doping Prevention

LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, June 12, 2012: A drug test carried out on April 18, 2012 at the 7th World Age Group Competitions for Acrobatic Gymnastics in Lake Buena Vista (USA) came back positive for the use of cannabis.

Given that the incriminated athlete acknowledged the drug charges, a second confirmation test was not required.
 
In keeping with the procedure in force, the case has been referred to the FIG Disciplinary Commission, which is scheduled to meet shortly at Lausanne headquarters. The Commission's verdict as well as the athlete's identity will be made public once both parties have been informed.
