The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has banned Para swimming athlete Roman Bondarenko of Ukraine for a period of three years for committing an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV), in breach of the IPC Anti-Doping Code (the Code).
The Ukrainian athlete returned an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for prohibited substances in a urine sample provided in-competition on 2 September 2024 during the men’s 200m freestyle S2 final at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
The substances were methamphetamine (D-) and amfetamine. Amfetamine is a metabolite of methamfetamine but its presence may also be due to the consumption of amfetamine. The prohibited substances are included on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) 2024 Prohibited List under the class S6A (Non-Specified Stimulants). They are non-Specified Substances for the purposes of the Code.
The athlete was provisionally suspended by the IPC on 6 September 2024 pending a resolution of his case.
The athlete accepted the commission of the ADRV, and the consequences proposed by the IPC. As a result of his violation, the athlete will be ineligible for competition and other sporting activities (other than authorised anti-doping education or rehabilitation programmes) for three years from 6 September 2024 until 5 September 2027.
