Athletic Federation of BiH appealed to the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) on double doping test of the best BH athlete Amel Tuka.
Anti-doping administrator of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Thomas Capdevielle responded to the protest note of the Athletic Federation of BiH which complained to the Department of Anti-Doping of the IAAF because of double testing of Tuka during the European Championships in Amsterdam, according to the statement of the Athletic Federation of BiH.
During the championship, they took blood and urine samples from Tuka twice, and the second test was performed on the day of the finals. From the eight finalists of the race at 800 meters, Tuka was the only one tested, as stated from the Athletic Federation of BiH.
In response of IAAF was stated that they mistakenly took a sample of blood and urine from Tuka that day due to misinterpretation of instructions. According to the letter, the service provider (the World Anti-Doping Control) informed the IAAF about the mistake and apologized.
Capdevielle apologized to our athlete and the Athletic Federation of BiH on behalf of the Department of Anti-doping control at the IAAF and thanked for their support in the fight against doping in sport.
