Miesten Säilässä on tullut esiin doping tapaus
Koreassa järjestetyissä MC-kisoissa.

Fie käsitteli asian ja langetti miekkailijalle vuoden kilpailukiellon.

FIE LETTERS:
After the senior men’s sabre World Cup held in Seoul (KOR) on
February 25-26, 2005, Mr. Jung Hwan Kim (KOR) was found positive
for the prohibited substance Hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic).
During the hearing of the FIE Doping Disciplinary Tribunal held in Linz
on March 29, 2005:
- evidence was provided that the substance was prescribed to the
fencer by the doctor;
- the fencer did not request the B sample to be tested;
- the Korean Fencing Federation has informed that the fencer had
been provisionally suspended from all participation in sport as of
March 1st, 2005, being the date the federation had learnt of the
positive laboratory analytical report.

FIE Doping Disciplinary Tribunal, after deliberations, confirmed that
the presence of Hydrochlorothiazide constitutes an Anti-doping Rule
violation and as a consequence, the following sanctions are imposed,
as provided for by the FIE Anti-doping rules:

- disqualification of the individual results obtained at the competition in
Seoul;
- a period of ineligibility of twelve (12) months from all competitions
starting on March 1st, 2005 and ending on February 28, 2006.
The fencer accepted the sanctions.
