The New Zealand Rugby League (NZRL) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Respondent after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis.
NZRL notified the Respondent and ordered a provisional suspension. The Respondent filed a statement in his defence and was heard for the Tribunal. Respondent admitted he had smoked Cannabis at a party a couple of days before the competition.
The Tribunal accepts that Respondent did not smoke Cannabis for performance enhancing purposes and finds that Respondent has already been penalized as the result of the provisional suspension.
Therefore the Sports Tribunal of New Zealand decides to impose a 1 month period of ineligibility on the Respondent starting on the date of this decision.
