In April 2008 the Turkish Basketball Federation has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Player after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Carboxy-THC (cannabis). The Federation notified the Player and ordered a provisional suspension.Hereafter the Turkish Basketball Federation decided a two year period of ineligibility.
The player appealed against this decision of the Turkish Basketball Federation to the FIBA Disciplinary Panel. The Player admitted he had smoked marihuana, had no intention to enhance his performance and expressed his regret for the violation committed.
Considering the provisional suspension and ineligibility since May 2007, and that Player committed no previous anti-doping rule violation, the FIBA Disciplinary Panel decides a 3 month period of ineligibility.
As a result the sanction has already expired and the Player is eligible to plan immediately.
