PR 36 - FINA statement on Ms Yulia Efimova (RUS)

Considering the provisional suspension imposed by FINA to swimmer Yulia Efimova (RUS) and the recent WADA recommendations on the use of Meldonium, the FINA Doping Panel decided to maintain the provisional suspension of this athlete, until a hearing of Ms Efimova is held by the FINA Doping Panel.

FINA will not make any further comments on this case, until a final decision is made by the FINA Doping Panel.
