In May 2017 the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis in a concentration above the WADA threshold. After notification the Athlete admitted the violation, waived her right to be heard, accepted the provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the CCES.
The CCES established that the Athlete was not at significant fault or negligence for the violation and when tested the Athlete was not a International athlete as defined under the Rules. The Athlete’s use of Cannabis occurred out-of-competition prior to the sample collection.
Therefore the CCES decides on 5 June 2017 to impose a 2 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 11 May 2017.
