The ITA reports that two taekwondo athletes have each been sanctioned with a 2-year period of ineligibility

The International Testing Agency (ITA), on behalf of World Taekwondo (WT), reports that Elizaveta Dolzhikova and Yuliya Volkova, taekwondo athletes from Russia, have each been sanctioned with a two-year period of ineligibility for an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV) under article 2.2 of the WT anti-doping rules (WT ADR) for the use of a prohibited substance based on data retrieved by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) from the Moscow laboratory.

¹ When an athlete does not challenge the assertion of an ADRV and does not request a hearing, anti-doping organisations have the possibility to issue a written decision sanctioning the athlete and imposing the applicable consequences without having to refer the case to a hearing panel. This is provided in articles 8.3.2. and 8.3.3. of the WT Anti-Doping Rules and article 8.3 of the World Anti-Doping Code.
