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 (dimethylpentylamine). After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the Disciplinary Committee.
The Athlete pleaded guilty and stated he had used a supplement Jack 3D which he purchased at a local sports shop.
He regretted the incident and stated that he was wholly unaware of the WADA-prohibited list of substances and the strict rules relating thereto.
The Committee accepts that the Athlete had not intention to enhance his performance but finds that the Athlete could be expected to know more of his responsibilities with regard to anti-doping matters.
Therefore the SAIDS Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 6 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on 12 April 2012 to 11 October 2012.
