The International Esports Federation (“IESF”), in its continued commitment to integrity and fair play, reports the outcome of an anti-doping rule violation identified during the World Esports Championship 2022 (WEC22).
The IESF reports that athlete Arslan Siddiqui, who represented Pakistan and won the Tekken 7 title, was sanctioned with a two-year period of ineligibility after testing positive for 19-norandrosterone, 19-noretiocholanolone, the Stanozolol Metabolites, and the Metandienone Metabolites, following an in-competition doping control on 10 December 2022.
All above-mentioned substances are Prohibited Substances under the World Anti-Doping (“WADA”) Prohibited List. More specifically, all substances were listed as Prohibited Substances under class S1.1A Anabolic Androgenic Steroids of WADA’s 2022 Prohibited List.
The sanction was issued by the IESF Hearing Panel in accordance with Article 8.1.2 of the IESF Ant-Doping Rules (“IESF ADR”), which are fully aligned with the World Anti-Doping Code (“WADC”). The period of ineligibility was effective from 26 April 2023 until 25 April 2025. Per Article 9 of the IESF ADR, the Athlete’s results earned at the WEC 22 (and all corresponding medals, titles, awards, points, prizes, and appearance money, etc.) were automatically disqualified. The Athlete’s results between 10 December 2022 and 26 April 2023 were also disqualified, with all resulting consequences as described in Article 10.10 of the IESF ADR.
As a signatory of the WADC, IESF conducts anti-doping testing at every sanctioned tournament, reinforcing our commitment to clean sport and the credibility of international esports competition.
IESF reiterates its zero-tolerance policy toward doping and will continue to take all necessary measures to protect the health, safety, and fairness of esports competition worldwide.
