This table lists the individuals currently either serving a provisional suspension or a period of ineligibility as a consequence of an anti-doping rule violation under the World Aquatics’ anti-doping rules. The summary only contains cases over which the World Aquatics has results management authority and is in compliance with the public disclosure requirements of Article 14.3 of the World Anti-Doping Code. Therefore, the information below does not necessarily provide an exhaustive overview of all the sanctions imposed in the related sport and disciplines insofar as other Anti-Doping Organizations may have imposed sanctions on the individuals under their own rules.
For the sake of completeness, World Aquatics delegates the first steps of results management to the ITA, from the initial review of a potential anti-doping rule violations up until a case needs to be referred to the Anti-Doping Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (“CAS ADD”). These first steps are handled independently by the ITA. First instance hearing panels proceedings and appeals before the Court of Arbitration for Sport are handled by World Aquatics. However, this table lists all cases handled under the authority of World Aquatics, regardless if independently managed by the ITA or directly by World Aquatics.
The ITA wishes to clarify that some of the cases are not final and may be in dispute before first instance hearing panels or the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The individuals listed below are either temporarily barred or ineligible for a certain period of time from participating in any capacity in a Competition or activity (other than authorized anti-doping Education or rehabilitation programs) authorized or organized by any Signatory, Signatory’s member organization, or a club or other member organization of a Signatory’s member organization, or in Competitions authorized or organized by any professional league or any international- or national-level Event organization or any elite or national-level sporting activity funded by a governmental agency.
