Jules Boscq suspended after a positive test for tuaminoheptane

Jules Boscq will not play again this season. Whether with the Iowa Heartlanders (ECHL, 3rd American level) or elsewhere. The day after the announcement of his departure from the team affiliated with the Minnesota Wild (NHL), the defender of the France team (21 years old) published a long message on social networks to explain the reasons for the hasty end of his American adventure.

“For several months, I had been waiting for a sanction which fell on October 31,” writes the Bordeaux resident. As part of an anti-doping test carried out following a Synergie Ligue Magnus match in December 2021, I tested positive for a product which appears on the list of substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). ), tuaminoheptane, active molecule of rhinofluimicil. »

“I took 2 or 3 nasal sprays the morning of the match to treat a persistent cold,” continues the man who played his first World Cup with the Blues last May. I did not check the composition of this medicine, I was careless… I will pay for it in cash. » If, in June 2022, the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) had sanctioned Boscq with a two-month suspension, WADA appealed this decision and filed an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS). The final sanction therefore fell last week: “suspended for several months”, Jules Boscq will be “back next summer”.
