In October 2011 The Oceania Regional Anti-Doping Organization has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Player after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance 4-methylhexaneamine.
After the results of the doping control were revealed the Pacific Games Council disqualified the Player for the 2011 Pacific Games, annulled his results and imposed a 2 years period of ineligibility from all Pacific Games.
In March 2012 the Player was notified that the case was submitted to the FIBA Disciplinary Panel.
Despite multiple attempts by the FIBA to contact the Player by telephone and email were not successful.
Therefore on 26 April 2012 the FIBA Disciplinary Panel decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Player starting from the date op Player’s last game in the Pacific Games.
