IBU suspends two more athletes after re-analysis in previous seasons


As officially announced in late November 2014, the IBU pro-actively decided to re-analyze some samples that showed atypical results in the previous seasons and were therefore stored for potential future analysis.

 

As a result, five samples were reported positive for recombinant EPO from the WADA laboratory. Besides the suspensions for Ekaterina Iourieva (Russia) and Irina Staryk (Russia) that were announced 21 December 2014, the IBU moreover provisionally suspended the athletes Alexander Loginov (Russia) (as of November 25th 2014) and Serguei Sednev (Ukraine) (as of December 15th 2014). Both athletes waived the B sample analysis of the re-analyzed samples. Mr. Loginov’s re-analyzed sample was collected in Östersund (SWE) on 26 November 2013 in an Out-of-Competition test. Mr. Sednev’s re-analyzed sample was collected in Antholz (ITA) on 22 January 2013 in an Out-of-Competition test. The samples were taken by IBU. The IBU Anti - Doping Hearing panel will decide about the period of ineligibility for both athletes.
