In April 2013 the Wold Curling Federation (WCF) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Matt Dumontelle after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance metandienone.
After notification the WCF ordered a provisional suspension.
The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and waived his right to attend the hearing of the WCF Case Panel.
The Athlete accepted the test result and submitted that he suffered from psoriatic arthritis since the age of 22 and used medications. The Athlete stated that the treatment worked well for his pain but the side effects were fatigue and weight loss. Therefore he also used some supplements to deal with the weight loss and fatigue without taking energy drinks or coffee to give him energy.
The WCF Case Panel concludes that the Athlete acted negligently and decides on 14 June 2013 to impose 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 6 May 2013.
