In October 2016 the Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete J-4514 (the Athlete) after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance metandienone.
After notification the Athlete admitted the intentional use of the substance, waived his right to be heard and filed a statement in his defence.
Considering the Athlete’s admission and without grounds for a reduced sanction JADA decides on 19 December 2016 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 14 October 2016.
