back on January 23, 2005. Dexamethason 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 supposedly alleviate an Achilles tendon condition.
On June 13, 2005, the FIS
Doping Panel issued a two-year suspension (January 23, 2005 - January 22, 2007) for Kowalczyk. In late June 2005 FIS determined at a May 21, 2005, inquiry by the Polish Ski Association (Polski Związek Narciarski) that since dexamethasone was a glucocorticosteroid, it was classified as a specified substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency
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 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 classification of dexamethasone had been erroneous and that they erred in their attempt to remedy the error. Their decision excluded any consideration of Kowalczyk's defence that she did not use the substance to enhance her sport performance.
