• Article 10.4 – Eliminati<strong>on</strong> or reducti<strong>on</strong> of the period of ineligibility for specified<br />
substances under specific circumstances<br />
Where an athlete can establish how a specified substance entered her/his body<br />
or came into her/his possessi<strong>on</strong> and that such specified substance was not<br />
intended to enhance the athlete’s sport performance, the period of ineligibility of<br />
Article 10.2 shall be replaced by, at a minimum, a reprimand and, at a maximum,<br />
2 years of ineligibility<br />
To justify any eliminati<strong>on</strong> or reducti<strong>on</strong>, the athlete must produce corroborating<br />
evidence which establishes to the comfortable satisfacti<strong>on</strong> of the hearing panel<br />
the absence of an intent to enhance sport performance or mask the use of a<br />
performance-enhancing substance. The athlete’s degree of fault shall be the<br />
criteri<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sidered in assessing any reducti<strong>on</strong> of the period of ineligibility<br />
• Examples of cases where Article 10.4 has been applied and where the intent to<br />
enhance sport performance was not an issue (the sports-body agreed to the absence<br />
of intent to enhance performance): CAS 2011/A/2495 FINA v. Cielo & CBDA, CAS<br />
