In January 2012 the Koninklijke Nederlandse Krachtsport en Fitnessfederatie (KNKF), the Royal Netherlands Power Sport and Fitness Federation, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine) and cannabis.
After notification the KNKF ordered a provisional suspension. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and waived his right to be heard for the KNKF Disciplinary Committee.
The Athlete admitted he smoked cannabis prior to the doping test and that the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine came into his body due to the use of the supplement BPI A.5.0, purchased in a supplement store.
The Committee concludes that the Athlete acted negligently due to he failed to research the ingredients of his supplements before using. Therefore the KNKF Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 1 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 17 January 2012.
