In August 2013 the Nederlandse Rugby Bond (NRB), the Dutch Rugby Union, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. De Athlete failed to submit a statement in his defence nor did he attend the hearing of the ISR-NRB Disciplinary Committee.
Without the Athlete’s statement the ISR-NRB Disciplinary Committee decides on 25 September 2013 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 31 July 2013.
Fees and expenses for this committee shall be borne by the Athlete.
