Facts
The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) alleges Yak Al-Rekabi (the athlete) for a violation of the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP). On March 23rd, 2013, the Athlete won the bronze medal in the senior category of the 120kg division at the Junior / Senior National Wrestling Championships in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He was subject to an in-competition doping test, and refused to provide a sample, as required under the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP). He signed the Athlete Refusal Form, acknowledging that he was violating the rules of the CADP.
Decision
The athlete has committed a doping infraction under Rule 7.31 of the Canadian Anti-Doping Program, by refusing to submit to an in-competition Sample collection. There is no reason to reduce the period of ineligibility that is envisioned in Rule 7.39, therefore the athlete is ineligible for a period of two (2) years, commencing on the date of this Award.
Costs
No submission was made on costs, and I make no order.
Appeal
I retain jurisdiction and reserve the right to hear any dispute relating to the interpretation or application of the present decision.
