Timeline

1983

Justyna Maria Kowalczyk-Tekieli ( Polish : ; born 19 January 1983 ) is a Polish cross-country skier who has been competing since 2000.

Kowalczyk is a double Olympic Champion and a double World Champion.

She is also the only skier to win the Tour de Ski four times in a row and one of two female skiers (the other being Finn Marjo Matikainen) to win the FIS Cross-Country World Cup three times in a row.

Kowalczyk holds the all-time record for wins in the Tour de Ski with 14, and had 29 podiums in total.

2001

She then competed in her first FIS World Cup race at Cogne (ITA) in December 2001.

2002

In 2002 she came second in the individual sprint at the World Junior Championships.

2003

She finished 31st in the individual sprint at the 2003 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships.

2005

At the 2005 World Championships, Kowalczyk competed but was subsequently disqualified for taking dexamethasone at the Under23 (U23) OPA (Alpine Nations) Intercontinental Cup competition in Oberstdorf, Germany back on 23 January 2005.

Dexamethasone is a substance that is allowed Out-of-Competition but prohibited In-Competition.

It acts as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant.

Kowalczyk used the substance to alleviate an Achilles tendon condition.

On 13 June 2005, the FIS Doping Panel issued a two-year suspension (23 January 2005 – 22 January 2007) for Kowalczyk.

In late June 2005 FIS determined that since dexamethasone was a glucocorticosteroid, it was classified as a specified substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) list of prohibited substances, and therefore the period of ineligibility for the first violation is at a maximum, one year's ineligibility.

The FIS Doping Panel therefore reduced the suspension to one year.

Kowalczyk appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) which held that Kowalczyk did not use Dexamethasone to enhance her sport performance.

However, she acted negligently, but the measure of the negligence did not justify a one-year term of ineligibility.

According to CAS, a reduced period of ineligibility ending 8 December 2005 (the day of the hearing) provided the fair and proportionate measure of sanction.

CAS criticised the FIS Doping Panel that their decision excluded any consideration of Kowalczyk's defence that she did not use the substance to enhance her sport performance.

According to CAS, Kowalczyk had disclosed and substantiated her defence that Dexamethasone was not intended to enhance performance.

She had submitted corresponding medical certifications to the FIS Doping Panel as proof of use in alleviating an Achilles tendon condition.

Upon Kowalczyk's prima facie showing that her use of the substance was for medical reasons, the burden of proof shifted to FIS to prove the contrary.
