Drug Free Sport New Zealand (DFSNZ) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Respondent after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered.
Respondent filed a statement in his defence admitting the violation but hereafter failed to participate in the hearing for the Tribunal and to provide corroborating evidence.
Therefore the Sports Tribunal of New Zealand decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on Respondent, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 23 June 2010.
