FINA reported today that Polish swimmer Jakub Jonczyk tested positive for the banned substance Methylhexaneamine (Class S.6.b Specified Stimulants). The test was conducted on June 15th, 2013 following a doping control test after the Polish Championships that were held in Olsztyn.
At the Polish Championships, he finaled in the 50m freestyle (23.40, 11th). He finished 2nd in the 100m backstroke (55.17) and won the 50m backstroke (25.45).
The Polish Swimming Federation has imposed a 1 year of ineligibility for Jonczyk starting the day of the positive test.
Wow
Understand that two pair of Indonesian Swimmers at the recent Asian Indoor Games got tested positive for the same stimulant as well. I am guessing a ban has yet to be imposed. It’s truly unfortunate that these stimulants are being used to enhance performances. Anyone sure who sets the duration of these bans?
ted – there’s a range established by the World Anti-Doping Code, and then the appropriate governing organization can listen to any mitigating circumstances and choose a suspension within that range. The athlete can appeal to the international appeals court if they thing the suspension was unjust.
As a Indonesian, I think must update about doping offenses by 2 Indonesian swimmers. If you can speak Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language) that I doubt it (hahaha), you can read article in this link:

According this article, On 13 August 2013 LADI (Indonesia Anti Doping Agency) has a hearing with these 2 swimmers: Indra Gunawan (Indonesia’s national record holder 50, 100, 200m breaststroke) and Guntur Putera Pratama (National record holder in 400m relay), that tested positive in 4th Asian Indoor & Martial Arts Games in Incheon, South Korea.
The decision will be announced on 20 August 2013.
Indra, trained in Debrecen (Hungary), said that he got positive from the JACK 3D… Read more »
Sorry, it’s “Guntur Pratama Putera” not “Guntur Putera Pratama”.
My mistake.
For Americans 2’5″ & 404 pounds.
Lmao. This is the best ever.
Haha . According to the BCN13 site the guy is only 74 cms high & weighs 184 kilos.
That is what drugs do to you . But the guy is not representative of Poles – he at least has one vowel in his surname.
sigh, sadly I feel there may be more dopers out there all over the world
Stephen, I find it impossible to believe this kid or any kid is unaware of the fact that what they are taking is illegal. This generation knows the rules, just don’t always act like they do.
This guy gets no quarter, while minor in the grand scheme I’m sure he just thought he could get away with it.
More curious as to if this would affect his NCAA Eligibiliy being on a one year ban with this federation.
IIRC, the NCAA may choose to honor WADA bans, but does not automatically do so. Though this might have changed recently since there was a mess with a Jamaican track & field guy (blanking on the name, and google isn’t helping) not too long ago who ended up running NCAA D1 even though he was still supposed to be under doping suspension for a drug positive as a junior.
The NCAA actually let him run most of a season and only got around to banning him for the doping violation right around NCAA nationals time when some folks at the oddly influential Let’s Run web site rather made a fuss about his inclusion at the meet.
Actually, the NCAA rules do address how a ban assessed outside the NCAA shall be enforced by the NCAA. He cannot participate in NCAA competition during the period of his suspension. Here’s the rule:
18.4.1.5.3 Non-NCAA Athletics Organization’s Positive Drug Test. The Executive Committee shall authorize methods for drug testing any student-athlete who has disclosed in the student-athlete state- ment (see Bylaw 14.1.3.1) that he or she has a positive drug test administered by a non-NCAA athletics organization. A student-athlete under a drug-testing suspension from a national or international sports governing body that has adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code shall not participate in NCAA intercollegiate competition for the duration of the suspension. (Adopted: 1/14/97 effective 8/1/97, Revised: 4/28/05… Read more »
hfcb, yes that is one of the main ingredient in jack3d idk aabout world wild, but on the midatlantic region of the USA this is very frequently used by athletes and fitness enthusiast, many of whom aren’t aware of recent anti-doping rules surrounding its use
J3cked ??? Dumb mistake
