In October 2012 the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Nkqubela Aphiwe Ntloko 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 SAIDS Disciplinary Committee.
The Athlete admitted the violation, had no knowledge of SAIDS and its requirements and stated he purchased the substance on his own unaware that it contained any prohibited substance.
Considering the Athlete had no intention to enhance his sport performance the SAIDS Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 9 month period of ineligibilility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the notification, i.e. on 17 October 2012.
