CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan swimmer Albert Subirats has been suspended for one year for failing to notify FINA’s anti-doping authorities of his whereabouts three times within 18 months.
Subirats has 21 days to appeal the decision by swimming’s world governing body, which imposed the ban despite noting he might not have intended to evade doping tests.
