In August 2016 Sport Ireland (Spórt Éireann) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete IS-4505 after his sample tested positive for cocaine.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete admitted the violation. Hereafter the Athlete failed to file a statement in his defence nor did he attend the hearing of the Irish Sport Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel (ISADDP).
Without the Athlete’s response the ISADDP decides on 25 January 2017 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete IS-4505 starting on the date of the sample collection.
