The taekwondo athlete and two-time Olympic champion Ulugbek Rashitov has been suspended for two years from all competitions for an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV), the International Testing Agency (ITA), on behalf of World Taekwondo (WT) said.
Reportedly, Ulugbek Rashitov has accepted the two-year period of ineligibility for his ADRV under Article 2.4 of the WT anti-doping rules (WT ADR).
Ulugbek Rashitov committed three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period. The athlete did not challenge the ADRV and agreed with the consequences proposed by the ITA. Accordingly, the case was resolved via an acceptance of consequences.
The Agency added that the athlete’s period of ineligibility is from the date the athlete accepted a voluntary provisional suspension under article 7.4.4 of the WT ADR (13 May 2025) until 12 May 2027. In addition, all the athlete’s individual competitive results from the date of commission of the ADRV (3 February 2025) until the start of the period of ineligibility are disqualified.
The decision may be challenged before the appeal division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport by the parties with a right of appeal in accordance with Article 13.2.3 of the WT ADR.
