3 doping violations - Jan, Feb and March 2015. 

 

Ban 11 months from end Jan to Dec 2015. 

 

No problem - couple of podiums during the ban.

Also interested in your question. One exception would render the rule and idea useless.

Aaah I see.. lol.

First question - how do you know?

 

Second question - you seem to imply that she did get the TUE, but that the process was flawed, and if so, what was the flaw?

[Paulst12]

If her ban is until end of 2015 then what's the point? Sentence supposedly served and away she goes or am I missing something?

According to Wikipedia:

 

"While hydrochlorothiazide is not itself a performance-enhancing drug, it may be used to mask the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and is classed by the World Anti-Doping Agency as a "specified substance".

Some information from http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/amiloride-and-hydrochlorothiazide-oral-route/description/drg-20071506

 

"Amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide are both diuretic medicines (water pills). They reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine, which helps lower the blood pressure. Amiloride keeps your body from losing too much potassium when urine flow is increased."

 

It seems to be used to lose weight? Not one the same level as taking steroids or epo, but still against the rules as per the new prohibited substances list http://static1.squarespace.com/static/53f5fb7ce4b0cab4a7fe8561/t/56a21a45bfe873a45161abb1/1453464136394/20160122_wada-2016-prohibited-list-en.pdf

 

Edit: thanks Odinson, you mentioned that it could also be a masking agent as you probably pee out any other banned substances quicker.
