ISR 2016 KNKF Decision Disciplinary Committee 2016006 T
October 3, 2016
On 3 October 2016 the ISR Disciplinary Committee of the Dutch Royal Strength Sport and Fitness Federation (KNKF) decided to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Person after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance stanozolol.
The ISR-KNKF Disciplinary Committee concluded that the test results were valid and that the Person did not produce any evidence for his assumptions and arguments and therefore failed to explain how the prohibited substance came into his body.
Hereafter in November 2016 the Person appealed the decision of the ISR-KNKF Disciplinary Committee with the ISR-KNKF Appeal Committee.
The Appeal Committee upholds the conclusion of the Disciplinary Committee that the evidence showed that the Athlete committed an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for the prohibited substance.
The Appeal Committee considers in this appeal whether there are grounds to reduce the imposed sanction and whether the violation was without intention to enhance his sport performance.
The Appeal Committee establish that the Athlete only provide assumptions about how the prohibited substance came into his body. He failed to produce additional evidence about the pills he had used, nor was further investigation conducted on the content of these pills.
Without grounds to reduce the sanction the ISR-KNKF Appeal Committee decides on 13 December 2016 to confirm the imposed 4 year period of ineligibility on the Person.
Fees and expenses for this committee shall be borne by the Person.
