The ITA, on behalf of International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), confirms that the athlete Florian WILMSMANN has agreed to the consequences imposed for his anti-doping rule violation (ADRV), namely the occurrence of three whereabouts failures within a twelve-month period.¹
The case was handled by the ITA on behalf of FIS and was resolved via an agreement on consequences² pursuant to the FIS anti-doping rules (FIS ADR).
Considering that the proceedings were initiated and resolved only recently, whilst the whereabouts failures occurred in previous years, the athlete’s period of ineligibility was imposed retroactively and ran until 17 November 2024, as allowed by the FIS ADR.³ In addition, all individual competitive results obtained during the period of ineligibility, namely from 18 April 2023 and 17 November 2024, are disqualified, including forfeiture of medals, points and prizes.
The decision may be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport by any party with a right of appeal, in accordance with article 13.2.3 of the FIS ADR.
The ITA will not comment further on this case.
¹Athletes included in a Registered Testing Pool (RTP), such as Florian Wilmsmann, have the obligations 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 a potential ADRV as per article 2.4 of the FIS ADR and World Anti-Doping Code. The potential consequences for such ADRV, if confirmed, is a period of ineligibility between one and two years and disqualification of results obtained since the date of the ADRV, namely the date of the occurrence of third whereabouts failure (article 10.3.2 FIS ADR).
²Athletes 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 FIS ADR and 8.3 of the World Anti-Doping Code and is commonly referred to as an agreement on consequences, which is deemed a FIS/ITA decision.
³Article 10.13.1 of the FIS ADR and World Anti-Doping Code provides that a sanction may be backdated as early as the date of the occurrence of the ADRV where there have been delays in the proceedings and that those delays are not attributable to the athlete’s conduct.
