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 cannabis.
After the notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete was heard for the Disciplinary Committee.
The Athlete indicated that he was guilty of the charge. He had smoked Dagga (cannabis) two or three week before he participated in the event.
