The ITA reports that skier Florian Wilmsmann has been sanctioned for 3 Whereabouts Failures
The International Testing Agency (ITA) reports that German ski athlete Florian Wilmsmann has accepted a 19-month period of ineligibility after missing three anti-doping controls within a twelve-month period.
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.
