case was passed on to the international federation because it did not fall within NADA’s sphere of responsibility. For nine tests, there was an initial suspicion of a test refusal in accordance with Article 2.3 NADC, with six of these being out-of-competition and three being in-competition tests. In three cases, each of the proceedings initiated ended with a two-year period of ineligibility, plus a fine. In three cases, no anti-doping rule violation could be proved, and three proceedings were pending when this annual report went to press. In one case that was brought on the grounds of an initial suspicion of impermissibly influencing the doping testing proceedings (Article 2.5 NADC), no violation of anti-doping rules was found. 353 filing failures / missed tests 681 written hearings on possible filing failures / missed tests were held with the athletes who are in the registered testing pool (RTP) or the national testing pool (NTP), during the course of which NADA found 349 filing failures and missed tests, with another four being found by the international federation. The filing failures / missed tests involved 105 cases of athletes failing to file their complete quarterly whereabouts information, 216 cases of failing to comply with the updating rules, and 32 cases of missed tests. 19 reported offences NADA filed charges against persons/institutions unknown in 19 cases, on the grounds of positive analytical results. 17 of these cases involved an alleged violation of the Ger-
man Medicinal Products Act, and in one case a violation of the German Narcotics Act. Above and beyond that, NADA also filed charges on the grounds of violation of the German Narcotics Act based on an anonymous tip-off.
