The International Testing Agency (ITA) reports that German athlete Simon Wulff has been sanctioned with a 21-month period of ineligibility after testing positive for the prohibited substance methylhexanamine.
The professional bobsleigh athlete Simon Wulff tested positive for 4-methylhexan-2-amine (methylhexanamine) following an in-competition doping control of 7 December 2024.
The World Anti-Doping Agency, the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF) and Mr Wulff have concluded a Case Resolution Agreement pursuant to Art. 10.8.2 of the IBSF Anti-Doping Rules (IBSF ADR) according to which the athlete is sanctioned for an anti-doping rule violation based on Art. 2.1 of the IBSF ADR with a period of Ineligibility of twenty-one (21) months starting on the date of the sample collection.
While there is no indication that the athlete, who was cooperative during the proceedings, committed the anti-doping rule violation intentionally, he was – despite significant efforts – not able to establish the source of the prohibited substance identified in his sample. The athlete will therefore be eligible to participate in any activities and competitions as of 7 September 2026. The athlete is, inter alia, allowed to return to train with a team two months before expiry of the period Ineligibility, i.e. as of 7 July 2026.
