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 Testosterone.
The Athlete indicated that he is not guilty and explained that he had used the supplement Testoboost purchased over the counter. When he purchased the supplement he was told it is safe and contains natural substances. In addition the Athlete did research the ingredients of the supplement before using it. He took four capsules before the event where he was requested to provide a sample.
Considering the evidence the Committee finds there is no basis to reduce the sanction. Therefore the SAIDS Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on 28 June 2012 to 27 June 2014.
