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 methandienone.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and was heard for the Disciplinary Committee.
The Athlete admitted his guilty and stated he used Dianabol (methandienone), provided by his friend. He had taken the steroids knowing he felt good after taking them and that they would enhance his performance.
The Committee finds that there were no grounds for elimination or reduction of the sanction.
Therefore the SAIDS Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting from the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 8 August 2011 to 7 August 2013.
