Hereafter Bike New Zealand is bringing the matter whether Tribunal had jurisdiction to consider application to disqualify athlete’s competition results under rule 14.8 of Sports Anti-Doping Rules.

The Sports Tribunal of New Zealand decides under rule 14.8 of the rules that the results of Respondent are disqualified from 31 March 2009 to the date of the period of ineligibility.
