IPC Confirms Three-year Ban On Portuguese Athlete Simone Fragoso For Anti-doping Rule Violation
The International Paralympic Committee: The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has confirmed the three-year ban of Para-powerlifting athlete Simone Fragoso of Portugal for committing an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV), in breach of the IPC Anti-Doping Code, in a pre-Paralympic Games test in August this year.
The Portuguese athlete returned an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for metabolites of a prohibited substance in a urine sample provided out-of-competition on August 31, 2024, as part of the IPC’s pre-Games testing programme at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, the IPC informed in a release on Friday.
The substance was stanozolol, the anabolic steroid for which Jamaican-born Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson had tested positive in the most famous doping cases in athletics at the Seoul Olympics in 1988. Stanozolol is included on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) 2024 Prohibited List under the class S.1.1 (Anabolic Androgenic Steroids).
