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 substances 19-noranstrosterone and 19-noreticholanolone (metabolites of Nandrolone).
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete filed a statement in his defence. The Athlete informed SAIDS that he accepts the 2 years suspension that may be imposed against him and stated he will not attend the hearing of the Disciplinary Committee.
Therefore the SAIDS Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting from the date of the notification, i.e. on 19 July 2012.
