Indonesia's anti-doping agency, the Indonesia Anti-Doping Organization , has declared that six bodybuilding athletes competing at the 2024 National Games have violated anti-doping regulations and their sanctions are now legally binding after they failed to file an appeal within the specified time limit.
In an official letter to the Indonesian National Sports Committee , the IADO explained that the decision was taken after notification of sanctions was sent to the athletes concerned and no appeal was filed in accordance with applicable regulations.
"The athlete did not file an appeal within the stipulated period as stipulated in Article 13 of the World Anti-Doping Code, so the sanction is now final and legally binding," said IADO Chairman Gatot Dewa Broto, quoted from its official website.
The six athletes found to have violated anti-doping rules were all from the sport of bodybuilding: Achmad Alvian, Wawan Bayu Riswana, Dody Armanda Putra, Agung Wibowo, Indra Mulyadi, and Hismawan Sulistiono. Decisions for the first three athletes were delivered on January 12, 2026, and for the other three.
