The ITA asserts an anti-doping rule violation against triathlete Tomás Rodríguez Hernández

The sample was collected under the Testing Authority and Results Management Authority of IRONMAN during an in-competition anti-doping control at the 2024 IRONMAN Texas on 27 April 2024.

The athlete has been notified of the case and has been provisionally suspended pursuant to Article 7.4.2 of the IRONMAN Anti-Doping Rules (IRONMAN ADR).

The athlete requested the opening and analysis of the B-sample, which confirmed the result of the A-sample. The athlete also challenged the imposition of the Provisional Suspension.

The ITA has asserted an Anti-Doping Rule Violation as per Article 2.1 and/or Article 2.2 of the IRONMAN ADR. The case will be referred to the International Hearing Panel, which is IRONMAN’s first instance panel as per Article 8 of the IRONMAN ADR, to hold a hearing on the case.

Given that the case is underway, there will be no further comments during the ongoing proceeding.
