The ITA reports that luger Madeleine Egle accepted a 20-month sanction for three whereabouts failures

The International Testing Agency (ITA), leading an independent anti-doping program on behalf of the International Luge Federation (FIL), reports that Austrian luger Madeleine Egle has accepted a twenty-month period of ineligibility for an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV).

¹ Athletes have the right to choose not to have their case referred to a hearing panel. In these instances, the anti-doping organisation will assess the athlete’s case file and establish the applicable consequences pursuant to the anti-doping rules and the athlete will have the right to accept the proposed consequences. If the athlete refuses the proposed consequences, the case is transferred to a hearing panel. This resolution mechanism is provided for in articles 8.3.1 of the FIL Anti-Doping Rules and 8.3 of the World Anti-Doping Code and is commonly referred to as an agreement on consequences and is deemed an FIL/ITA decision.

² Athletes included in a Registered Testing Pool (RTP), such as Madeleine Egle, have the obligation to provide daily whereabouts as well as a specific daily 60-minute time slot where they will be available for testing. The purpose is to allow anti-doping organisations to locate athletes for unannounced out-of-competition testing. Any combination of three missed tests (which relate to the athletes’ unavailability with respect to their 60-minute time slot) and/or filing failures (which are caused by the athletes’ failure to provide accurate whereabouts) committed within a twelve-month period amount to an ADRV as per article 2.4 of the FIL ADR and World Anti-Doping Code.
