CCDS 1995 Karen Wilkinson vs CCDS

Facts
Karen Wilkenson (the Athlete) applies for Category II Reinstatement. She was suspended from competition for four years for a violation of the Anti-Doping rules. On acquisition of her husband about tampering her doping controls she underwent an doping test under the condition: "ensure that the athlete provides a witnessed urine sample wearing a short-sleeve shirt. It is our understanding that she may be manipulating the process by substituting urine from a stored reservoir". The test took place in her office on July 7, 1995. Her sample tested positive on metabolites of the prohibited substance nandrolone.

History
The athlete denied any personal knowledge as to how the banned substance entered her body. Her "defence" is that her estranged husband, Mr. Brantley, had secretly put the drug in her soft drink and she unknowingly drank it. She relies entirely on Mr. Brantley to explain the circumstances of how the drug was administered to her. Experts proved that parts of the testimony can't be true.

Decision
Dr. Wilkinson's application for Category II Reinstatement has been denied.
