In March 2013 Lyfjaráð ÍSÍ, the Iceland ISI Anti-Doping Committee, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Player X after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance metandienone.
After notification the Player was provisional suspended. 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 he had accepted a nutritional drink from his brother and did not know it contained the prohibited substance metandienone (Dianebol). The Player argued that he had no intention to enhance his sport performance due to the prohibited substance has no effect on concentration and precision needed in bowling.
Considering the Player acted negligently 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 22 February 2013.
