The 21-year-old Norwegian had been disqualified until November 18, 2017 by his Olympic Committee following the positive Clostebol, a forbidden substance contained in Trofodermin, a cream to cure burns. While acknowledging the lack of gossip and the episodic nature of the breach, the athlete had been held guilty of negligence (albeit not meaningful) and banned from competitions for 13 months. Wada and Cio had judged their sentence worth it. The Fis, on the other hand, considered it too soft and appealed to the Tas. The international federation called for a tightening of sanctions to prevent Johaug from participating in the PyeongChang Olympic Games. So the word "end" is definitely put on the story, which is worth doing the essential chronology: 13 October 2016 The Norwegian Cross-Country Federation announces that Therese Johaug has failed an anti-doping control on 16 September. The incriminating substance is Clostebol, belonging to the category of anabolic steroids. According to the reconstruction of the incident, the athlete took this substance using Trofodermin, a cream used in the treatment of burns. In fact, during the training camp in Livigno between August and September, Johaug had reported a ticking to a lip. To treat her she had used the Trofodermin, supplied by team physician Fredrik Bendiksen. The latter assumes all responsibility for the incident, claiming to have bought the cream at a pharmacy and then having given it to the athlete, mistakenly assuring them that it could be used as having no substances included in the forbidden list Wada. Â 18 October 2016 Johaug is suspended for two months. Any disqualification, however, will take place from this date. Â October 26, 2016 It is made known that Johaug's biological passport confirms the veracity of the causal assumption of Clostebol, excluding any assumption of systematic use. Â November 15, 2016 Johaug decides not to be judged directly by the Tas of Lausanne, passing first by the national antidoping court. Â November 29, 2016 The Norwegian Anti-Doping Agency's inquiry committee asks for 14 months of disqualification for Johaug. They recognize the non-intent of violating the anti-doping regulation and the fact that the recruitment was occasional. However, the athlete is accused of negligence, albeit not meaningful. Â February 10, 2017 The Norwegian National Anti-Doping Court judges Johaug guilty of negligent negligence and disqualification for 13 months, or until 19 November 2017. Â March 7, 2017 Wada and Cio consider the punishment to be appropriate. The Fis, on the other hand, decides to resort to the Lausanne TAS against the sentence, holding it too bland. Â June 6, 2017 Audience in front of Lausanne's Tas. According to corridor voices, however, considered extremely trustworthy, FIS would have asked to raise Johaug's disqualification for at least 16 months, so that the athlete could not attend the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Games.
