A current rumour states that an athlete of the Luxembourgish Olympic delegation in Paris has been ignoring the doping regulations. On Monday, a clear refutation was published by the ALAD.
ALAD has now reacted to the rumour and the agency has specified that it does NOT concern an athlete from the Luxembourgish delegation.
However, there is still an ongoing procedure about an athlete who has failed to show up for their doping test three times during a period of twelve months. This was confirmed by Loïc Hoscheit, the director of ALAD. The name of the suspected person will only be made public after a verdict has been reached by the CDD, the Luxembourgish council of doping discipline.
2.4: Lack of location filings from an athlete
Any combination of three (3) missed tests and/or lack of location information as defined in the International Standard for Results Management, within a twelve (12) month period, by an athlete in the Registered Testing Pool.
Ongoing procedure (05.08.2024)
Communicated via: Luxembourgish Anti-Doping agency (ALAD)
Current rumours are going around concerning a violation of anti-doping regulations by a member of the Luxembourgish delegation at the Olympic Games in Paris. These rumours are not proven and wrong.
The Luxembourgish anti-doping delegation ALAD nevertheless feels the duty to confirm that a procedure is currently running against an athlete in a targeted group suspected to have violated article 2.4 of the ALAD code of conduct concerning the whereabouts of athletes. The suspected athlete did not qualify for the Olympic Games in Paris.
The “Conseil de discipline du dopage” (CDD) is treating it momentarily and a conference will be held soon.
In order to not hurt the principal of presuming innocence, the athlete’s identity will not be published before the CDD has reached its verdict and the ALAD will not engage in any further commentary about the affair.
