SWISS SPORTS TRIBUNAL SUSPENDS FLOORBALL PLAYER

It has been announced on 21 March 2025 that the Swiss Sports Tribunal (TSS) has suspended for one year a Swiss floorball player for possession of the prohibited substance RAD140 (SARM).

The offence came to light during a postal inspection, in which a package containing 180 capsules of RAD140 (SARM) addressed to a Swiss floorball player was seized by the Federal Office of Customs and Border Protection (FODF) and forwarded to Swiss Sport Integrity.

In accordance with the provisions of the Sports Promotion Act (SPA), Swiss Sport Integrity ordered the destruction of this product for a fee as part of an administrative legal procedure.

The floorball player was subsequently informed that possession and attempted use of the prohibited substance RAD140 constitutes a potential violation of the Swiss Olympic Doping Statute.

In the proceedings before the TSS, the amateur player admitted ordering the prohibited substance, but credibly proved that he acted without serious negligence when placing the order.

The TSS imposed a one-year suspension on him for possession of a doping substance and ordered him to pay 500 francs in costs.

Swiss Sport Integrity has reminded all sports players that the importation of doping substances is prohibited and can lead to suspensions, even of amateur players!
