At the EBFF European Women’s Bodybuilding, Fitness and Bodyfitness Championships from 18th to 21st June 2004 I discovered the following incident:
On 20th June 2006 the following athletes had undergone Anti-Doping-Controls by the IFBB:

As you can see in total 30 anti-doping-tests were conducted. However only 15 samples were analysed in the laboratory in Seibersdorf/Austria. This fact can be seen from the attached 30 Doping Control Forms – interestingly the wife of Rafael Santonja, Nieves Lopez Cillanueva was the Doping Control officer in charge, and the fax of the WADA laboratory in Seibersdorf/Austria dated 21st June 2004 confirming the delivery of 15 competition samples only.
The question remains: where did the 15 other samples go? As far as I remember, Rafael Santonja advised to discard them. Thus they were never analysed. As you can see from the confirmation of receipt of ARC Seibersdorf Reseach GmbH (WADA accredited laboratory) of 21st June 2004 only the following samples were received and analysed by the laboratory:
Code No. Name of athlete
330887 Agnieszka Anna Ryk
330901 Alina Evelina Popa
330903 Aurelia Grozajova
349115 Angelika Leobardt
330888 Dora Emese Szantai (positive)
330891 Van Essen Gerda Sophia
330894 Svetlana Kochkina
349120 Marketa Hladikova
330902 Monika Halajova
330896 Claudia Partenza (positive)
330900 Florina Visan
349130 Nathalia Foreau (positive)
349117 Darina Piznal
330889 Antonia Carreras

The following samples were not analysed:

That means that 15 Doping Control samples were not analysed but instead discarded – this under the full responsibility of Dr. Rafael Santonja and his wife Nieves Lopez Cillanueva the Doping Control officer in charge. Please find attached the 30 Doping Control forms, as well a as copy of the confirmation of receipt of Doping Control samples document of the Seibersdorf laboratory dated 21st June 2004.
