The South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine.
After the notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and was heard for the Disciplinary Committee.
The Athlete stated he was provided with a supplement by his training partner that contained the prohibited substance unknown to all concerned and he had no intention to enhance his performance.
The Committee accepts the Athlete’s statement and finds that the evidence has established the criteria that will qualify for the elimination or reduction of the period of ineligibility for specified substance under specified circumstances.
Therefore the SAIDS Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 7 week period of ineligibility starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 15 December 2010 to 1 February 2011.
