Iannone’s ban for steroid doping extended to 4 years
MotoGP rider Andrea Iannone had his ban for doping with an anabolic steroid extended to four years yesterday because he could not prove contaminated meat was to blame.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said its three judges dismissed the Italian rider’s appeal against an 18-month ban and upheld the World Anti-Doping Agency’s counter appeal requesting a four-year sanction. The 31-year-old’s ban, imposed by the International Motorcycling Federation, was extended to December 2023. Iannone cited eating contaminated meat for his positive test for Drostanolone at the Malaysian Grand Prix in November 2019. The CAS judges found he was not able to prove “the precise type of meat he had consumed nor the origin of said meat.” Anti-doping rules place the burden of proof on the athlete to explain how a banned substance was present. Iannone had a contract with Aprilia Racing Team Gresini. His only MotoGP win came at the 2016 Austrian GP.
