Facts
The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) alleges Socholotiuk for a violation of the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP). On March 31, 2010, at the specific request of the University of Waterloo, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) attended at the university campus to conduct out-of-competition drug testing on the entire football team. The athlete was tested as a player on the team and provided both a urine sample and a blood sample. His urine sample tested positive on testosterone and his bloods sample tested positive on the presence of recombinant Growth Hormone.
History
The Athlete replies in writing, regarding the testerone, that the substance he was using was not a banned substance. For the presence of recombinant Growth Hormone: the athlete replies in writing: the blood test for Human Growth Hormone is very unreliable. The athlete neither signed a waiver of hearing nor requested an arbitration hearing. It was not possible to get in touch with the athlete and he didn't attend the hearing.
On March 31, 2010, the CCES attended at the university campus and conducted drug tests on the entire football team at the request of the university’s administration. This unprecedented request was generated by criminal charges laid previously by local police against a member of the team for possession and trafficking in substances which also are banned in sport. The CCES tested 61 athletes and collected 61 urine samples and 20 blood samples. It is currently managing potential anti-doping rule violations involving 9 of these athletes. These 9 athletes do not include the two who were criminally charged, since the CCES has decided to postpone their consideration pending the conclusion of the criminal proceedings against them. The large number of athletes from the same team who tested positive is also unprecedented.
Decision
As stated in the decision issued on August 23, 2010, an anti-doping rule violation by the Athlete has been established. The sanction imposed is a period of ineligibility of three years commencing on June 4, 2010.
