Facts
The UK Anti-Doping Organization (UKAD) charges Zbyszko Kienast (the "Athlete") for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules ("ADR"). On November 26, 2011, the Athlete competed in the BWLA London and South-East Championships. Following the completion of the competition, the Athlete was required to provide a urine sample for analysis. The analysis revealed the presence of carbon isotope ratios for testosterone, androsterone and etiocholanone that were significantly different from that of the endogenous reference steroid 11-ketoeticholanolone, and thereby revealed the presence of exogenous testosterone which is included on the prohibited list 2011. On January 2, 2012, the Athlete responded to the Notice of Charge. The Athlete stated: “I accept the charge. I do not wish to appeal.” For the avoidance of doubt, by so doing, the Athlete admitted the charge and acceded to the consequences. He also thereby accepted that he was subject to the jurisdiction of BWLA, and subject to the BWLA Anti-Doping Rules.
Decision
1. An Anti-Doping Rule Violation contrary to Article 2.1 and 2.2 has been established;

4. The Athlete’s status during this period of Ineligibility shall be as set out in Article 10.10.
