The Ethics Commission of the Hellenic Olympic Committee with its decisions imposed on the Weightlifting athletes Mr. Nikolaos Kourtidis and Mrs. Konstantina Chaido Lapou the sanction of suspension from all sports events for a period of 16 and 40 months respectively, due to use of prohibited substances.
The two athletes participated in the Mediterranean Games of Pescara 2009, winning gold and silver medals. They had undergone doping controls on June 1st, 2009 in Limassol, Cyprus, however the results were only obtained with delay on June 30; therefore, they could not be excluded from participation in the Mediterranean Games.
The cases of the two athletes will be included in the agenda of the forthcoming meeting of the I.C.M.G. Executive Committee, which will pronounce its decision.
