The American Player underwent an in-competiton doping test on 26 March 2009 in Leiden (the Netherlands). The WADA-accredited laboratory in Cologne reported on 22 April 2009 that Player’s sample showed an elevated testosterone/epitestosterone ratio. However isotope ratio mass spectrometric (IRMS) analysis in the laboratory of Player’s sample did not indicate an application of testosterone or testosterone prohormones.
Therefore the Dopingautoriteit, Netherlands Anti-doping Authority (NADA), ordered follow-up testing. After notification the Player refused to produce an out of competition urine sample on 20 May 2009.
Hereafter the NADA reported an anti-doping rule violation to the Nederlandse Basketball Bond (NBB), Netherlands Basketball Federation, for Player’s refusal to provide an urine sample.
On 10 October 2009 the NBB Disciplinary Committee ruled that the Player had not committed an anti-doping rule violation.
