The duration of the period of Ineligibility referred to in 2° of I of article L. 232-23 for a breach of article L. 232-9-3 is two years.

This period may be reduced by up to half, depending on the degree of the athlete’s fault, except where frequent last-minute changes in whereabouts or the identification of other conduct give rise to a serious suspicion that the athlete was attempting to make himself unavailable for Testing.

Article L232-23-3-5

La durée des mesures de suspension mentionnées au 2° du I de l’article L. 232-23 à raison d’un manquement à l’article L. 232-9-3 est de deux ans.


Cette durée peut être réduite, au plus de moitié, en fonction du degré de la faute du sportif, sauf lorsque des changements fréquents de localisation survenant en dernière minute ou l’identification d’autres conduites laissent sérieusement soupçonner que le sportif tentait de se rendre indisponible pour des contrôles.
