In August 2016 the Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Federation (KNBSB) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Person after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances prednisone and prednisolone. After notification the Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the ISR KNBSB Disciplinary Committee.
The Person stated that he was surprised about the violation and he could not explain the positive test result assuming that it was caused by the self medication he used previously. He didn't use supplements or medication and without inflamed injuries he stated that he had not used anti-inflammatory products containing these substances.
The ISR KNBSB Disciplinary Committee concludes that the Person failed to explain how the prohibited substances came into his body and decides therefore on 6 December 2012 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Person starting on the date of the decision.
Fees and expenses for this committee shall be borne by the Person.
