Facts
The Royal Dutch Cycling Federation (de Koninklijke Nederlandsche Wielren Unie, KNWU), charged the cyclist for an Anti-Doping rule violation. During a match in 2012 the cyclist didn't attend the doping control for which he was selected.
History
The cyclist had to leave the race after three rounds because he was to far behind, he claims not to have seen any sign for doping control or hear the announcement for the control. Also his father who accompanied him claims not to have noticed the announcement. However the Doping Control Officer (DCO) and the chaperon of the cyclist took great effort in finding him.
Consideration penal
Although the evasion is regarded as a significant fault and the cyclist is a minor who has no record of earlier sanctions the sanction can only be reduced to the minimum.
Decision
1. The sanction is a period of ineligibility of one year.
2. Fees and expenses for this committee shall not be borne by the Athlete.
