Dear Mr Santonja
Reference: Kamal Abdul Salam of Qatar
At the Men's World Bodybuilding Championships 2008 in the City of Manama Bahrain,the Qatari athlete KAMAL ABDUL SALAM took 1st place.
2nd place winner was Mohamed Oyyoub of Morocco (suspended for doping offence)
So Mahry Ayadi of Iran was moved to 2nd place the third place to Vitaly Grechkhov of Ukraina,4th to Josep Merino of Espana and 5th to Aggeli Abbas of Iran.
As the Chairman of ABBF Medical Committee , I wish to seek clarification because many athletes/officials in Asia will be asking me questions at this coming Asian Championships in Tehran Iran and I need to give them a fair answer to the doping infraction committed by Kamal Abdul Salam of Qatar over the years
1. At the Men's World Bodybuilding Championships in Mumbai/India, Qatari athlete Kamal Abdul Salam took 2nd place but was later on disqualified due to Anti-Doping Rules Violation for a period of 2 years.Only 8 months after this suspension Qatari athlete Kamal Abdul Salam competed again in the Asian Championships 2004.
At the time of the Anti-Doping Violation committed by Qatari athlete Kamal Abdul Salam at the Men's Bodybuilding Championships in Mumbai/India the relevant documents containing the IFBB rules gpverning doping control were:
- IFBB Constitution 2003 edition
- IFBB Anti Doping Program, 2002 edition
- IFBB Directives 2002-004 and 2002-005
The sanctions on individual stipulated in the IFBB Anti-Doping program at that time contained the doping offence pursuant to article 9.1.1 of the program calls for an imposition of a suspension of 2 years for the first violation (SECOND VIOLATION LIFE TIME SUSPENSION)
Was the athlete Kamal Abdul Salam reinstated following a proper reinstated procedure (as per WADA) as outlined in the IFBB Anti-Doping Rules before he competed again in the Asian Championships ?If not, why was he allowed to compete in the asian Championships 2004 ?Who made the decision to reduce the 2 years suspension to a period of more or less 8 months ? (We know that you were the no 2 person as the Executive Assistant to the IFBB President during this period)
2. In August 2007 athlete Kamal Abdul Salam had to undergo Anti-Doping Control again conducted by the Qatar Weightlifting & Bodybuilding Federation as Anti-Doping Organization.According to the certificate of analysis of WADA acccredited lab. in Penang/Malaysia of 30th August the sample collected from athlete Kamal Abdul Salam contained "metandione metabolite".In spite of this adverse analytical finding(AAF), atlete Kamal Abdul Salam was entitled to compete in the Asian Championships.
Although athlete Kamal Abdul Salam was found positive again in August 2007 he received only a one year suspension from QWBBF, although according to applicable Anti-Doping Rules of the IFBB for the 2nd offence a life time suspension is obligatory.
How is it possible , that this athlete was allowed to conpete in Italy, the Excaliber Champs in USA, Men's World Bodybuilding Champs 2008 in the City of Manama /Bahrain and subsequently in Qatar Golden Cup ? We appreciate your comments to this intolerable situation by 10 days notice .
Thank you.
Yours sincerely
