The Charges

On May 6, Dmytro Chumak was subject to Out-Of-Competition testing that was conducted by the International Testing Agency (ITA). He was asked to supply a sample for drug testing and refused. Following that, he allegedly attempting to bribe a Doping Control Officer (DCO).

There are a combined total of 5 charges between the duo. The details of the alleged bribe against the DCO are unclear at this time. Dmytro is accused of the use of a substance, evasions, and bribes. The ITA has released a report on the matter, that also accuses Dmytro’s coach of tampering and complicity.

Dmytro Chumak’s Charges

  • Article 2.2 Violation: Use or Attempted Use of a Prohibited Substance
  • Article 2.3 Violation: Evading and Refusing Sample Collection
  • Article 2.5 Violation: Tampering or Attempted Tampering With any Part of Doping Control

Matsokha Mykhailo’s Charges

  • Article 2.5 Violation: Tampering or Attempted Tampering With any Part of Doping Control
  • Article 2.9 Violation: Complicity or Attempted Complicity Involving an Anti-Doping Rules Violation (ADRV)

The violations are violations of the IWF’s Anti-Doping Rules (IWF ADR). Any violations of those rules are violations of the IWF and not the ITA. The International Testing Agency is an independent agency dedicated to fairness in sports and delivers transparent anti-doping programs to sporting events and organizations across the world.

The ITA Report – What Happens Now?

According to the ITA report, Dmytro Chumak and Matsokha Mykhailo have been informed of the charges and are suspended pending resolution. The IWF ADR stipulates that they will face the consequences of the charges. If those consequences are not accepted by either party, the athlete and his coach individually each have rights to seek a hearing on the matter.

Among the potential consequences are not being able to attend the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

The charges will be prosecuted by the ITA.
