SAIDS 2012_14 SAIDS vs Cornel Welgemoed

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 admitted he had used a supplement purchased from a shop next to his gym. He understood that the product was similar to coffee and provided an energy boost. The Athlete stated that there was no indication on the labeling of the product which gave cause for concern or alarm.

The Committee finds that there is no mention of methylhexaneamine (or any of its synonyms) on the label of the product and the Athlete had not intention to enhance his performance.
Therefore the SAIDS Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 3 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 10 April 2012 to 10 July 2012.
