In June 2014 and in September 2014 the Royal Dutch Athletics Association (KNAU) has reported two anti-doping rule violations against the Athlete after her A and B samples - provided on two separate occasions - tested positive for the prohibited substance Testosterone with a T/E ratio above the WADA threshold.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and she was heard for the ISR KNAU Disciplinary Committee.
The Athlete asserted that she bears No Fault or Negligence and explained that the prohibited substance entered her body through skin to skin contact with her partner who had used testosterone-gel.
The Disciplinary Committee did not accept the Athlete's explanataion and concludes that she failed to demonstrate how the substance entered her system.
The Committee establishes that the athlete was notified about her second violation before the notification of the first violation. As a result both violations are considered as one single violation.
Therefore the ISR KNAU Disciplinary Committee decides on 21 January 2015 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete.
Fees and expenses for this committee shall be borne by the Athlete.
