In March 2013 Lyfjaráð ÍSÍ, the Iceland ISI Anti-Doping Committee, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Player Ómar Örn Sævarsson after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine).
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Player filed a statement in his defence and was heard for the Tribunal of the National Olympic and Sport Association of Iceland (ISI).
The Player stated that he accepted two sips of a drink prepared for him by one of his team mates and had no intention to enhance his sport performance.
The ISI Tribunal notes that according to information from an expert at the laboratory where the sample was analysed the concentration of the substance in the Player's sample was quite high, at ten times the threshold limit.
Therefore the ISI Tribunal decides to impose a 6 month period of ineligibility on the Player, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 8 March 2013.
