The Libyan athlete returned an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for multiple prohibited substances in an in-competition urine sample collected on 29 August 2023 during the Men's -88 kg event at the Dubai 2023 World Para Powerlifting Championships.

The prohibited substances were oxandrolone, drostanolone and trenbolone. The substances are included in the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list for 2023 under class S1.1 (Anabolic Androgenic Steroids). They are non-specified substances under the Code.

The Libyan athlete was provisionally suspended by the IPC on 12 October 2023 pending resolution of his case. Mosaab Mohamed Gharsalla subsequently accepted the ADRV's assignment and the consequences proposed by the IPC.

As a result of his violation, the athlete will be ineligible for competition and other sporting activities (other than approved anti-doping education or rehabilitation programmes) for a period of three years from the date of the Provisional Suspension on 12 October 2023 to 11 October 2026.

The athlete's results in the Men's - 88kg event at the Dubai 2023 World Para Powerlifting Championships are disqualified, with all resulting consequences including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes.

All other results obtained by Gharsalla from the date the sample was collected (29 August 2023) until the start of the provisional suspension will also be disqualified, with all resulting consequences including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes.
