According to regulations, athletes have the right to send sample B to WADA for a second test, but because he could not pay the cost himself (3,000 USD), Van Vinh had to accept the penalty.
Van Vinh faces an eight-year ban and a fine of up to $5,000. The General Department of Sports and Physical Training and the People's Public Security have asked him to share part of the fine. The IWF will temporarily suspend all international competition activities of Van Vinh due to anti-doping rule violations before considering a final conclusion.

The match between Incheon United and Jeju United in round 1 of the 2019 K.League will take place at 12 noon on March 2.
