In October 2016 the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Dexamphetamine (D-amphetamine, dextroamphetamine) and Levoamphetamine (L-amphetamine).
After notification the Athlete admitted the violation, waived his right to be heard, accepted the provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the CCES.
The CCES established that the Athlete was at significant fault or negligence for the violation and the substance was used not intentionally and out-of-competition for academic purposes without a prescription.
Therefore the CCES decides on 21 December 2016 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 10 November 2016.
