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 and the Athlete was heard for the Disciplinary Committee.
The Athlete pleaded guilty to the charge and stated he used 2 supplements to lose weight because of his disability.
When he purchased the supplements he was told it did not contain any banned substances. It was the Athlete’s oversight he did not research the ingredients of the supplements before using it.
Considering the circumstances and without intention to enhance performance the SAIDS Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 3 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the sample collection.
