Subiotto QC, (UK / Belgium), President, Mr Markus Manninen (Finland) and Mr Jeffrey G. Benz (USA).A hearing was held at the CAS headquarters on 6 June 2017.Having reviewed the matter in full, the Panel noted that Ms Johaug failed to conduct a basic check of the packaging, which not only listed a prohibited substance as an ingredient but also included clear doping cautionary warning.Such omissions resulted in an anti-doping rule violation inconsistent with her otherwise clean anti-doping record.Nevertheless, in order to ensure equality in applying anti-doping rules, the Panel highlighted that it was obliged to apply a proportionate sanction, consistent with the level of fault.For this reason, the Panel noted that, in such a situation of non-significant fault, the 2015 World Anti-doping Code provides for a suspension range of between 12 - 24 months and determined in the present case that a period of ineligibility of 18 months, commencing on 18 October 2016, was appropriate.Therese Johaug arrested for doping
