In April 2016 the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after her samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis.
After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived her right to be heard accepted the provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the CCES.
The CCES established that the young Athlete was not at significant fault or negligence for the violation and when tested the Athlete was not a National or International athlete as defined under the Rules. The Athlete’s use of Cannabis occurred out-of-competition and weeks prior to the sample collection.
Therefore the CCES decides on 6 June 2016 to impose a 2 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 19 March 2016.
